FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS

GENERAL
Buell motorcycles feature two components which protect the
electrical system.
Fuses
The fuse block is in the trunk, under the seat.
See Figure 7-72. The ignition (4) fuse is rated at 20 amps.
Fuses for the odometer (5), lights (7), and instruments (8)
and accessories (9) are each rated at 15 amps.
Always investigate the cause of blown fuses before replacing
them. See your Buell dealer for more information.
Main Circuit Breaker
See Figure 7-73. The 30 amp main circuit breaker is on the
frame beneath the fuel tank.

WARNING WARNING

positive battery cable should contact ground with the
negative cable installed, the resulting sparks may cause
a battery explosion which could result in death or seri-
ous injury.

WARNING WARNING
The gasoline in the fuel supply line downstream of the
fuel pump is under high pressure (49 psi [338 kPa]). To
avoid an uncontrolled discharge or spray of gasoline,
always purge the system of high pressure gas before
removing fuel tank. Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive. Inadequate safety precautions could
result in death or serious injury.
2. Purge fuel line and remove fuel tank. See
TANK.
3. Remove battery negative cable from frame.
