main fuse slabside

[manden]

was out riding and all electrical power just went. does anyone knows where the main fuse sits or if there even is one?

 

thanks

The fuse box is next to the rear brake reservoir behind the rhs panel the one near the footrest,here’s a pic

[manden]

ill go look

[manden]

ive got 5 fuses at the rear seat. head 10a, signal 10a, ignition 15a, power source 10a and the last is probably lights 10a. the signal was burnt and i replaced it on the road with no change. i have no fuse box at the rear brake reservoir

[manden]

its an 1988 1100 if there is any difference

[Simbec1863]

The picture is the location on a 750 H,the 1100 location may be different but will still be around the side panel seat area,as far as I’m aware there is only 1 fuse box,sounds like you’ve already found it if you’ve been able to change the signal fuse.

I would check all fuses then look for a dodgy connection or poor earth if it was working then just lost all power.

[manden]

ill look at it tomorrow. but according to the haynes manual there is an seperate 25amp main fuse, there is just no reference of where it is

[manden]

I found a breaker #y127 that isnt passing power. Im looking for a new and hope that it was the problem.

Did you try re-setting it? You press the tit - it will pop again if the fault still exists!

[manden]

No. Ill try that.

[manden]

That worked I had half dissassembled the bike to debugging, and it was a click relay.

 

Thanks m8

Easy when you know how  Personally I got rid of the damn thing when I did a re-wire!

[jonny1bump]

Completely agree once tripped they normally snap off inside. Bin it.

[manden]

i was thinking on repin an 30 amp fuse and use instead. should it be a problem? i found out the the low beam also went when the relay shut down, so could be charging spikes or over charging. dunno

[jonny1bump]

See charging mod below.

They have a habit of tripping with age if you go over a bump that shocks em to pop  

 

[manden]

i think i have some electrical issues actually. first my low beam went, and on my way home tonight my high beam went. the bulp is a phillips and is 3 weeks old. and there has been made alot of shit with the bike through time so ill try and look it over when i adjust the valves and change the brak in oil with the motul synthetic. btw should i go with 300v or 7100?

[jonny1bump]

Sounds like you have corroded block connectors very common. Fully them all apart clean and grease with electrical grease.

I use 300v cams still seem to be in good condition for a change.

It's not a conductor I'm afraid.

But it will stop the corrosion taking hold.

Maybe but surely better to use correct product for longlivety sake.
