Maintenance tip of the day... Checking fuses

[Dave]

When removing fuses from the fuse box, remember to keep a good hold of the fuse and not drop it into the mass of fairings/wires/hoses, never to be found again...

[Akrapovic]

This sounds like a bit of a dig at Mr Noden.

Triumph provide a nice handy fuse pulling tool inside the fusebox lid. When used correctly this helps to prevent accidental fuse droppage.

Not at all, just some friendly advice...but a certain act last night did remind me of this tip

How may of you have dropped fuses when taking them out of the box

I have, many a time, and I am very sure I will do it again closely followed by the thought ... “knew that could happen”

[Gazza]

Dropping ones key can be just as embarrassing.....

So do Volkswagen. And Ford. And Big Mans Wanger. So not just Triumph then?

Gosh, so I'm guessing that most vehicle fuse boxes would have this useful device located inside. Best make sure everyone knows about this to save possible embarasment and serious p*ss taking

There are no fuses on the current range of Panzer bikes - CAN-bus electrics, voltage sensing and auto-reset MCB's (there are one or two exceptions to this, depending on specific options)

Is this the same latest and greatest in electrical technology...so easy to toast at the nearest touch of a welding rod anywhere near the bike

[Dickie]

If you're too thick to isolate the electrics before welding your bike (a la Long Way Round) then some people would say you deserve what you get.
