Arne knows this... this is why, when he did the fuse mod with a resettable circuit breaker, he put an interuppt switch in-line for a re-set as the only way to re-set the circuit breaker is to interrupt the power.

Gee... thanks =^)> BTW, Arne got the fuse location right.
I highly recommend it. ;^) Arne> You might want to check out the "fan bypass switch" article > somewhere in the bowels of the dualsport.org page or the > KLR650 page.
