Fuses protect the electrical circuits on your
motorcycle. If something electrical on your
motorcycle stops working, check for and
replace any blown fuses.
❙
Inspecting and Replacing Fuses
Turn off the ignition switch to remove and
inspect fuses. If a fuse is blown, replace with a
fuse of the same rating. For fuse ratings, see
“Specifications.”
If a fuse fails repeatedly, you likely have an
electrical fault. Have your motorcycle inspected
by your dealer.
NOTICE
Jump starting using an automobile battery can damage
your motorcycle’s electrical system and is not
recommended. Bump starting is also not recommended.
NOTICE
Installing non-Honda electrical accessories can overload
the electrical system, discharging the battery and possibly
damaging the system.

Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly
