Main fuse carrying amps question

[zero]

Does anyone know what the main circuit carries for amps normally on an 80 gs750? I know it is fused at 15a...I am looking to replace my fusebox with the FZ1 from Fuzeblocks. The carrying capacity for their circuits is up to 10amps...I would rather use this one over the one From eastern beaver just because the relay is integrated into the unit.

Hi,

You want to put a 10 amp capacity fuse box in a 15 amp circuit?



Thank you for your indulgence,

My sentiments, exactly.

Although it may never actually carry 15 amps, it was specified for a reason.

When you first turn on the key, the main fuse carries ALL the current for the lights and coils. After the bike is running, the amount (and direction)of current will depend on engine speed. Below about 1500 RPM, the alternator is not making quite enough to run the bike, so the battery supplements what is necessary. Above 2000 RPM, the alternator makes more than the bike needs and sends the excess back the other way through the main fuse to charge the battery.
