two fuses under the left pocket in the fairing

[Guest]

I have two fuses under the left pocket in the fairing. What are they for?

[SIR tricky]

On the Interstate they are for options such as radio and clock.

If there is nothing attached to them are they creating a draw from the battery? So if one of them is for the radio can I run my aftermarket stereo to that for power and if so, how? If not and they are creating a draw from battery what can I do to stop the draw? Thanks.

One of the fuses is live all the time you can check which one with a meter, it is the red one in the jpeg, it says it is 25 amp but I think that is wrong, it is either 3 or 7 amp.
You can use that one for the memory on your radio.
At the same plug (clock option) there are two light green/black wires both these are powered from the IGN switch you could use either for the main power for the radio. These are on the larger fuse of the two in the left pocket.


Unless someone has tapped into those supplies you shouldnt be getting a drain on either of the wires.

Thanks for the info and the diagram Tricky. I had been running the radio straight from the battery but this will certainly shorten the run.
