You're right cyborg . I thought I was being ridiculous or stubborn, risking myself as I get a feel for the scoot. I thought I'd better actually use the insurance that I paid for, lol! |

So, so sad... unfortunately, "Legal" has not a darned thing to do with "Wise". The trends of high speed white lining and street tricking/racing will probably soon cause legislation governing powerful bikes, in Cali at least. It is getting really scary on the highways here, the way and speeds that more and more riders are going.

LOL! Magic smoke... Well,two days ago, I got stranded. My throttle handle sleeve broke away from its collar. I pulled into the bus /park and ride and tried to Macguyver it together with stuffs I found laying around to at least get me home, 3 miles away. ...no go. The electrical tape just couldnt get enough grab on the inner collar, and the plastic ring was too big to create any friction against it.      I had to call AAA, dagnabbit! So, I got my replacement today, slapped it on, even repaired my odometer and tripmeter while I was in there, went to the bank to get quarters to do laundry (Like a good girl, INSTEAD of going for a long ride) and the scoot wouldn't start at the bank! Had to walk a few blocks to get fuses that should have already been under the seat! (EDIT) I also just had to retrace a block of that walk because, there was a hole in my bag of fuses and I just found 5 of them half way around my block, lol! NOW, I'm home doing laundry and am here to tell ya, IF smoke can be had, THIS girl will probably SEE IT! LOLOL!!! |

Here's the one in the bank that I'm using. If anyone thinks that this just isn't a good idea, I'm of course, open to better wisdom. I'm definitely wanting safety to be foremost.   |

Thank you much ! thecableguy . Yesterday, I had gone out on my scoot to get 12 awg wire ( after having looked at a chart on safe amp ratings for wires, much like the one you post), and a fuse box. I had a 20A relay in my toolbox from way back that, I'll put inline with a switched live-wire instead of using a toggle too. I'll use the 15A fuse.  |

LOL! I have NO doubt NOW since, ya say so. I got ya. I was previously confused by info leading me to belive that I should be fusing the secondary side as opposed to the primary side of the wire. I thinks, me gots it now . Thanks! cyborg I do remember that you recommended (And I took it) to replace my glass fuse at the battery. |

Thanks richardv . Of course, looking too much on the interwebses is getting me so much conflicting info that, I got to thinking that I want the fuse to blow before 15 amps get to a 14A component. I do wish I had a confident understanding of electrical principles. |

richardv Hmmm.... My inflator is rated @ 14A. Hopefully, I can trust the calculator above for my battery's sake. I don't mind blowing fuses, just don't want a dangerous situation or to hurt the equipment.I'm starting to second guess though, about the fuse. Do I need a fuse that is rated lower than, as opposed to higher than the rating of the equipment attached ? If not, help clarify my thinking?

I agree. The 15A fuse on that port , is appropriate, yes ?

I'm installing this bank of ports. They will each be fused ...  ... and I need to check my assessment of whether my tire inflator can be used considering my battery? MY BATTERY SPECSMY INFLATOR SPECSI calculated HERE and it SEEMS that at 9 mins/.15 hours operation time, I'd be safe to use it using a 15A fuse ? I noticed that the specs for the inflator state " Max. Current: can draw up to 14 amps ( if vehicle allows)" < Highlight is mine. What say you ? |
