DucatiGuzziIndian Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 In light of the many instances of fuses being a topic for discussion, I thought I'd post this. I stumbled upon it tonight while having an emergency beer after work and thought it very very interesting. A detailed investigation into fuse quality. For our more electrically capable members, I am sure this isn't news, but for amateurs like myself I found it really enlightening. I hope it's OK to post this here. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstallons Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I bought a Bussman ATC-ID-SK fuse kit w/LED made into the fuse . When the fuse fails , the LED lights up indicating a blown fuse . 7 ea of 5a-30a fuses . These are the best thing I have ever seen . No need for guessing , no test light , no nothin' . this kit was about $64 so it is not for the cheapskates ! When the original fuse fails , install a conventional fuse to see if your problem remains . You don't need a handful of $$$ and still have a problem. BTW , if anyone wants to post a pic of these fuses , go ahead ! [docc added image.] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Thank you ! While swapping out the fuses on both bikes , I found the 30a fuse on Greenie starting to melt the plastic on the fuse . SO , I start all over and bend the terminals on ALL connectors on ALL the fuse terminals and use a dab of NYE 750G "goo" to help the contact surfaces . I put the old fuses in a baggie and stuck them up in the hole behind the seat . When I got back from my trip to town I found the package from MG Cycle. Now I can install the pump , air filter and fuel shutoff . The strange thing about this shutoff , it does not need a 12 in pie wrench to turn the fuel off/on ! One of these days both of these bikes will be in riding condition ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucatiGuzziIndian Posted July 12 Author Share Posted July 12 Great suggestion on the lit fuse.... I'll get online and order some today. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I looked on the display and they had all kinds of packages . I just got the two kits w/the ATC & ATM fuses. after the nitroglycerin pill they gave me 10 off . I didn't like it but I took it . I can deduct all these irrational expenses , IDK about anyone else .
