Fuses
The main fuse box (fig. 45.1) is located on the frame right
side. To expose the fuses, take off the box protective
cover. Mounting position and ampere capacity are
marked on it.
Two fuses on the right side of the rear sub-frame protect
the relays of the injection system (1, fig. 45.2).
The fuse located on a side of the battery (fig. 45.3)
protects the electronic regulator. Remove the fuse cap (2)
to expose it.
A blown fuse is identified by the interrupted inner
filament (3, fig. 45.4).

fuse to avoid possible short circuits.

Failure to observe this rule may damage the electric
system or even lead to fire.
