BIG TIP = get a service manual. If you haven't read your owner's manual & don't know where the master fuse is...just asking for trouble & we're tired of the "I pulled a Boner" questions.

Did not post " I did a boner question" But you posted a "A HOLE " answer.
I have a service manual for my bike, it was someone else's bike. And since we were not sure which fuse was the master, we just disconnected the battery. But if you do not want to help. Keep your opinions to your self.

Depends on the year of the bike. Used to be on the right, now it's on the left. It's generally an orange 40 amp fuse.
