Replacing the fuses

The main fuse, the fuel injection system
fuse, and the fuse box, which contains
the fuses for the individual circuits, are
located under the rider seat. (See page
4-13.)

TIP

To access the fuel injection system
fuse, remove the starter relay cover by
pulling it upward.

If a fuse is blown, replace it as follows.

1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off

the electrical circuit in question.

2. Remove the blown fuse, and then

install a new fuse of the specified
amperage.

WARNING! Do not

use a fuse of a higher amperage
rating than recommended to
avoid causing extensive dam-
age to the electrical system and
possibly a fire.
