where to buy fuses for 82 kz1000

any suggestions on where to buy replacement fuses for 82 kz1000? would like to have some spares and i dont wanna cut factory fuse box out

you can still get stock fuses almost any auto parts stores

even those short ones?? the glass ones seem smaller on this bike than the typical automotive sizes

Most auto parts stores dont stock the short glass fuses but they can order them for u.Best thing u can ever do for u and the bike is covert the fuse box to one that accepts the blade type auto fuses. Have converted my 82 KZ 1000 CSR and my 86 Yammi Radian. No more blown fuses and no more searching for replacements.The yammi fuse box fell apart in my hands when I took it off--25 years of heat will do that to plastic.lol.bj

The AGX style glass fuses are what you are looking for. They are 1 inch in length and I recently bought mine at NAPA.

Fuse And Fuse Holder Designations

1. The older Kawasaki’s use a glass tubed fuse with the designation of AGX 1” long. Most good auto parts stores can get them for you. They are ¼” in diameter.

2. The more common AGC is 1 ¼” long and may not fit the smaller fuse clips. Again, ¼” in diameter.

3. To clean and polish the fuse clips, I use a cotton swab(Q- Tip) and some Brasso metal cleaner or Turtle Wax Chrome Polish. I suppose any good metal polish would work.

4. These fuses can fail internally but look good, only by removing them from the clip and electrically continuity checking with either a self powered test light, or a multimeter set on OHMS can they be determined to be in good shape.

5. A physical inspection of the metal end caps for tightness will tell you if the fuse is serviceable.

6. Most modern motorcycles are now using the automobile “Blade” style fuse with the designation of ATC or ATO.

7. The reduced sized “Mini” Blade style fuse holder uses the ATM size of fuses.

8. If the fuse and fuse holder overheat, it could soften or anneal the grip of the clip, it might require squeezing the clip to restore the tightness.
