Topic: where is the main fuse on a Honda Nighthawk 1983?

[tommygunxs]

In the instruktions from Honda, they write that there is a 30A main fuse on a Honda Nighthawk, but they dont give the location. It is on not in the fusebox under the headlight. Do anyone know?

Maybe on the starter relay, a lot of the bigger ones are there

The main fuse is not a conventional fuse. It's a thin strip of metal that is fastened to the starter solenoid with two screws, which makes it difficult to replace, especially if you are stuck at the side of the road. On my '82 FT Ascot 500, I replaced it with a blade type fuse and holder.
