10 amp fuse instead of 7 amp
« on: September 10, 2010, 01:28:40 PM »
hi all, is it ok to use a 10amp fuse in place of the 7amp fuse for head and tail? want to keep the stock fusebox but cant find the 7/7.5amp fuses. my thinking is a fault is a fault and it will blow the fuse if anything does short, and all wiring is the same rating on the bike so if it can take 15w, up to 10 should be ok?

thank for any help
