If you are asking for the fuse rating, it is 15A.

Thanks skipper....I took the cb500 out for a run tonight and it burnt the fuse!!! I wired in a spade type fuse and used a 7.5 I guess It wasn't a big enough fuse or might it be another problem???
Thank god I had a little bit of wire to bridge the connection to get me back home!!!
 
Thanks for your help!!

The bike, with lights on, draws about 10A, normally.
