Fuses come in many different types, shapes and sizes, ampere
rating. A fuse may come in slow blow or fast blow, this phenomenon
relates to the time a fuse will take to blow under overload
condition, fast blow are as a personal preference better than slow
blow types.
What is a fuse A fuse is basically made of tin and lead, both being good
conductors.
How does a fuse Blow A fuse will blow when a current flowing through it is greater than
the element is designed for, the excessive current flow allows the
fuse element to heat up and melt, however this is so fast we know it
as a flash or popped fuse. The fault can lie in either the equipment
to which it supplies power to or the cabling. Never try and put a
larger fuse in than the manufacturers stated.
Relays
1. How to test a relay
Relays mounted on the bike are generally as the picture shows
The pins are normally 2 Brass and 2 copper connections.
How to Test a Relay The Brass colored connections are the coil side. Using a multi-meter
set on the lowest resistance range,
you should start by touching the test probes together and checking
that the meter reads 0 (zero) ohms, now
place the test probes across the Brass connectors. The meter should
read approx 7ohms. If this is correct
the coil circuit is OK. Now put the test probes across the copper
contacts, you should read no resistance, if
you do then the relay is shot, replace the relay.
The relays on the 1500 are located in various places, The main
unit is behind the left side cover just below the seat. Other relays
are mounted under the seat and at the side of the battery. The relay
box has it's own cover with an identification legend on the back of
the front cover, however this can be at times confusing so we shall
have a list of the relays and what they actually control. We shall
include all the other relays on due course.
