If A Fuse Blows - Honda CRF250X 2006 Owner's Manual & Competition Handbook

If a Fuse Blows

All of the electrical circuits on your motorcycle
have a fuse to protect them from damage caused
by excess current flow (short circuit or overload).
If something electrical on your motorcycle stops
working, the first thing you should check for is a
blown fuse. Check the fuse before looking
elsewhere for another possible cause of the
problem. Replace a blown fuse and check
component operation.
• The main fuse (and spare) are located on the
starter motor magnetic switch behind the right
side cover.
Recommended Main Fuse: 15A

If you do not have a replacement fuse with the
proper rating for the circuit, install one with a
lower rating.
NOTICE
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher
rating greatly increases the chance of damage to
the electrical system.
If you replace a blown fuse with a spare fuse that
has a lower rating, replace the fuse with the
correct rating as soon as you can. Also remember
to replace the spare fuse that was installed.
If the replacement fuse of the same rating burns
(6)
out in a short time, there is probably a serious
electrical problem on your motorcycle.
Leave the blown fuse in that circuit and have
your motorcycle checked by your Honda dealer.
