RJD Posted June 13, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 13, 2010 I blew a fuse for my passing lights, so I had the cover off the fuse box. there is a fuse in there marked "back up fuse" Since I don't have any back up lights, I am wondering what that fuse is connected to. I have the fuse pulled right now and everything still seems to be working Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted June 13, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 13, 2010 Probably "back up" as in spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJD Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted June 13, 2010 there is no access to the fuse holder to connect anything and the wiring goes right into the harness. I thought maybe someone had connected to this some place, if it is a spare. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamadawg Posted June 13, 2010 Share #4 Posted June 13, 2010 There should be five spare fuses stored on on your bike. Two are in each of the fuse boxes and one is a spare for the main fuse that is stored by it. Pretty nifty, huh? That beats having to use gum-wrappers or tin foil...

RJD Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share #5 Posted June 13, 2010 so it's just a spare fuse and not a spare position in the fuse box. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V7Goose Posted June 13, 2010 Share #6 Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) There ARE spare fuses (and they are clearly labeled as such), but the backup fuse is not one of them - it has a real purpose. The backup fuse is to "back up" the power to the electronics so they do not lose their memory. Goose Edited June 13, 2010 by V7Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamadawg Posted June 13, 2010 Share #7 Posted June 13, 2010 (edited) That's correct, there are two spare fuses stored in each fuse box. Plus I learned something about the "back up" fuse. It is not mentioned in the Owner's Manual on the pages identifying the fuses as being in either of the fuse boxes... Edited June 13, 2010 by yamadawg Updated...

Wanderer Posted June 13, 2010 Share #8 Posted June 13, 2010 I once lost my audio and had to replace the audio fuse up front and the backup fuse behind the seat on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted June 13, 2010 Share #9 Posted June 13, 2010 Thanks for the clarification guys. I don't remember the backup fuse. Figured it was an extra but it makes sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted June 13, 2010 Share #10 Posted June 13, 2010 Why, the back up fuse is for the optional reverse they never got around to installing on the RSV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinsDa1 Posted June 17, 2010 Share #11 Posted June 17, 2010 My legs are getting really tired and if all it takes is a fuse, I need one!!! Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
