Fuse types

Hi, I'm looking for information on which fuses to use on my 76 kz900.
I know there are 3; a 20A SFE, and 2 1OA ASB. i'm having trouble finding the 10A ASB fuses, is there an equivalent fuse i should use? and what should the voltage be on the 10's? thanks!

The OEM fuse holders... naw crapola...

Switch over to automotive blade type inline fuse holders.
These will be rated at the +12Vdc @ 20 & 10 amp ratings...
Plus any automotive parts store carries them...

OMR

Thanks for the advice! I'll give this a try, anything i should watch out for or is there not much to it?

My 81 650-CSR still has the original fuse holders - I always have spares on hand. Never needed them, though.

Here's a reply from a recent topic: mystery problem

I'd pull the fuses one at a time and clean the clips with some Brasso and a cotton swab.Corrosion can cause overheating and melted insulation.

These older glass tubed fuses are the 1" long AGX type available at some auto parts stores and motorcycle shops.

The more common AGC type is 1 1/4" long and may not fit the fuse clips.

Piece of cake.... Water proof as well!

Thanks again! just changed the glass ones out - seems to have more juice and the dash, headlight, tail, etc lights are brighter.

Did you use the individual fuse holders such as in the pic posted by OMR? Any details? Just kinda curious if you used a fuse box of any kind or are they just stuffed in behind the electro cover. Thanks.

I used the individual ones i bought from adv auto, couldn't find a box for the inlines - would've went that route. Just black taped for now for organizing until/unless i find a better way- so essentially stuffed for now in the same area where the old box was located.

i think definitely worth the upgrade.

Just some background; my old fuse box was not holding my 20a correctly because one of the plastic holders broke off at some time and i had of headlight fuse blow and couldn't find the correct 10a replacement.

I just did the same thing with my 76 900. I replaced the little fuse box with the type OMR suggested, although I went with the glass type. They work great, and I just stuffed them in behind the original fuse box. I put that back in there as well just for looks. And have had no problems, so far, with about 300 miles on it since I did it.
