Hi From the uk,
When Replacing battery, live terminal touched bike frame and blew electricals.

took left hand panel off to see fuse box only blue 15a spade fuses (tops pointing towards back of the bike|) no orange 40a fuse.
Nothing around battery, removed battery on housing totally.
nothing under seat, checked all through connectors under seat.
have spoken 2 two dealers in UK and 1 in the states - No one knows, so over to the experts!!
Bike was an American import 2001 model.
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Simon

 

Your bike has a 30 amp main circuit breaker located near the TSM/TSSM. It does not have a 40 amp maxi fuse. Unless this is a joke, how could 2 dealers not know that?

 

thanks Ed, seriously NO JOKE!! and it was 3 dealers! helpful but no answers.
I'm unsure as to what TSM/TSSM are, could you spell it out for me please.
thanks again for you response, much appreciated!!

 

You can do a forum search here as well as Google for the TSM/TSSM and find tons of info. It's the turn signal/security module. In the meantime try to get an owners manual and a shop manual. They will come in very useful.

 

Under the left side fuse cover, item #28 (circled)

 

For anyone who does not know the process:

When connecting a battery, connect the positive side first.

When disconnecting, remove the negative side first.
