Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

Pull them and see what one is blown. Like Karen said there should be spares. If not head to a gas station, they should have fuses. If no luck ride it with the fogs on during the day. Alot of bikes around here use no headlight. At least you'll get home.

That happened to me and it was the contacts in the starter switch. Only five minute fix.

made it home

boy is it hot out Shocked

The 15 amp fuse was toast so I switched the audio one into the spot and used a spare 10 in that  I didnt have a15 spare

Since I was only using the helmets speakers I was sure I would be ok since the draw would be low

Found a 15 amp at the gas station on 95 in maryland for free so I am good to go to work tomorrow

Thank you Dalai and everyone who offered assistance cooldude

I would strongly suggest you find the reason for the blown fuse. They normally do not blow for no reason.

Save you a future dilemma when the outcome could be more dangerous situation.
