What is the correct Fuse value here?

    98 VFR 800

    The one covered in the little case in the picture.

    I blew this fuse today doing 75mph on the highway, kinda sucked!

    There was a 15Amp fuse in the socket, is that right? My Haynes manual
    says 'main fuse B' with no value.

    I just replaced the RR so I don't know what's going on with the bike.
    The Stator checked out ok and every time I check the bat voltage its
    around 13.7-14.2.

    I now have a lowbeam headlight problem too. I don't know if they are
    blown out or if it's something else.. Where is the relay located for the
    headlights??

    Oh yeah, the fan fuse was also blown (10A)... So I'm having lots of fun.

    Thanks for the help!

    Ok, I'm solving my own problems slowly here.

    I found out the fuse is supposed to be 30Amp from the Haynes manual.
    So that seems possible that the 15Amp the previous owner had in there
    wouldn't cut it.

    I'm still surprised that both of the low beam bulbs have blown close to the
    same time.. right after I changed out the RR, I'm hoping it's just coincidence.

    Had same thing,only the bulbs where blown before RR replacement:confused: now it works as it should.
    Bat. voltage you have should be at 4000rpm.On idle is below 13V.
