F1 Fuse Size - 5 or 10 amp?

[Thunderpaugh]

On my 2002 V11 Lemans, the cover for the fuse box indicates a 5 amp fuse in the F1 position (the one with the symbol for a diode on the cover). Installed is a 10 amp fuse. I am the third owner. I'm assuming that 5 amp is the factory size, and that the 10 amp fuse was installed by a previous owner for reasons unknown. What is the correct size fuse for this position? Is there a factory error? Is there an common issue that would encourage the installation of a 10 amp (or higher) fuse in place of the 5 amp fuise?

5 amp is the correct fuse for the ECU in position one. I seem to recall some fellows having trouble with this fuse.

 

While using a bigger fuse may be a handy road-expedient way to limp home, as a long term solution it just makes it harder to get the smoke back in the wires . . .

I seem to recall some fellows having trouble with this fuse.

Carl Alison was one of them, and I think he never resolved it other than to use a 10A fuse.

I don't recall anybody else coming up with a better solution than the taboo 10A fuse
