fuse blowing

2018 961: the ECU fuse blew a mile from home in August. First fuse to go. Anything else I should check?

That's a tough one. Did it actually blow, or just break? Is that a euro 4 bike? if so I don't have a wiring diagram for it, but if you have, see if there is anything else on the same circuit which may have caused the failure if it blew. Has it been ok since?

not obvious, except metal not continuous. Have bought some new fuse blades. No time to ride since, and I was on way to MOT at the time.... after my Mk3 failed MOT due to sliver of plastic in Carb float valve caused fuel drips earlier that afternoon....

Sometimes the blade fuses can crack but look ok. Bend the blade inwards and test.
At work we were told to order Bosch blade fuses and doing this stopped a lot of future problems.

Hi Mak , Can you give us a part number for those 10A BOSCH mini blade fuses ? I can't seem to locate them over here. Thanks .
