Hello all. I was riding along minding my own business when the 30 amp fuse blew. I had recently seen Scott's video about the dog bone fuse so looked there first. I had a spare so changed it anyway but no joy. I then happened to spot the 30 amp fuse behind it and looked in there. This had blown. I had my sidelights on the bike and the sidecar. No headlights on but I did have my heated vest going. I replaced the fuse and all has been right since. But why did it blow? Could it have been just an old fuse? Bear in mind I have owned the bike 7 years and didn't know there was a 30 amp fuse in there!
I am in England by the way.

Yes age can be a factor with fuses.

Re: 30 amp fuse
If you have added electrical accessories to the OEM wiring loom that could be an issue. Accessories need their own power supply direct from battery via relay.

Re: 30 amp fuse
Nothing added to the OE loom. All accessories' are either straight off the battery (sat nav) or the accessory port on the fuse box (heated clothing e.g.).
