Title: where do You get the flippin fuses from?
Post by: horror on April 15, 2010, 05:53:48 PM

Hi there


   I have joined the other us site, But I'm joining here also. Here's a pic of the bike after some tinkering has occured
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OPLSO0zMObY/S6_3wo1WKOI/AAAAAAAAAkE/iNCEEaxZCTc/s400/side.jpg)

Whilst working on it I have blown the fuses. I have no more to find out what went wrong/repair the bike.
I went off to maplin's to buy some fuses, easy I thought.

They said Yea we have loads of fuses, which size?

Then it turns out none of the many fuses they have are 7amp or 15amp  >:( >:( >:(

It's only a couple of fuses, I suppose I have to order them from an overseas interweb stockists and pay through the nose or somethng ???

I went to a local motorcycle shop and they only had the car type fuses, and the local bits and bobs shop only had ceramic plug fuses.

Where do I get 7 amp and 15amp glass fuses, Or is there another rating I can get away with? It's frustrating when there's only one day every 2 weeks with time to fix the bike and it's ruined by something so simple as a couple of fuses ha ha

Thanks for any help.

Hmm. We should install the YouTube embed video add-on like Glenn has on the US site.

I'll ask John.

Wherever you get them make sure the "clips" are nicely shiney and in full contact with the metal end cap or heating will occur (followed by blown fuse!)
