Main Fuse (50 amp) - Yamaha FZ1

Fitst things first i am a dick. Now for why…

I tried to start my bike this morning and it had a flat battery. I came home this evening after a hard days work (that’s my excuse) and tried to jump it from my car. As it happens i put the cable on the battery the wrong way round. Turn the bike key and nothing. I checked all the fuses and it looks like i have blown the main fuse. All the others are intact.

My questions are:

  1. Does anyone no where i can get a replacement fuse from. I use my bike everyday so i ideally need one tomorrow. Anyone know anywhere in London ideally quite central (I know i am asking a lot) .

  2. Am i likely to have done any long term damage?

Thanks for any help.

You are probably going to be lucky…Hopefully!

Get the fuse out and go hunting. Im not exactly sure what it looks like but go into halfords, bike shops (any) or car mechanics etc.

you might be lucky, if correct type and get one from a decent petrol station tonight! or…swap it from the wifes car!!! then you can see if its definitely just the fuse!

I thinik the bike MIGHT be on mini fuses which the car does not. Not sure about Halfords as I have a minifuse pack and it only gord up to 30 amp?!? just stick a screw in it and hope for the best :stuck_out_tongue: (dont actually do this!)

From experience (my) most cars have both types! and bikes vary depending on age, colour, type, look, make and what ever ive shooved in there! :smiley: Give it a go fella…worth a try

if you open the bikes fuse box there might be a spare already there. my FZ6 does

It is bigger than a mini fuse and does not look like any fuse i have seen before with two plugs on the bottom of it. I think it is going to be a mission finding one tomorrow.

50 amps is a lot!!

I have spares for the mini fuses and one in the fuse box but this one is much bigger!!

Halfords don’t have them. Think i will have to phone around tomorrow!!

is it a blade type fuse? ie flat with two spade legs

No its more of a box with a double plug on the bottom of it.

Going to start phoning around now.

Can you get a decent pic up or at least a google image.

Someone might know where to get one asap and cheaper than dealers

I think that’s a relay you’re talking about?

Starter motor relay by the sounds of it.

oh god, sounds about as good as my morning was today, bloody trumpet wouldnt start, no noise or anything, all the lights turn on, we reckon its the clutch switch, so gotta have a look later!, thankfuck for the cbf 125!:w00t:

Get your own thread! :cool:

shut it frog eyes…

Sorted it (I hope). It is the main fuse and i have just managed to get hold of one from Yamaha in Feltham.

Hopefully its a case of fitting it, jump starting it again (properly) tonight and i can stop with this public transport crap.

Westie if you want we can swap bikes as long as you take the pink bits off it first!

maplin do blade fuses
