7.5 Key fuse Blowing out

[TURBO200R4]

If there was an aftermarket system hooked up to that circuit like a horn or extra lights it will blow the fuse.

Put a tail tidy on with new blinkers. Unplugged the blinkers and is still blows the fuse

Have you solved the problem? Do we know what's causing this?

What is the story on the 10amp battery fuse? The fuse box says 7.5amp

From my youtube viewing, I found out that Triumph has a bad batch of 7.5A fuses. Ones that were installed and ones that were included to use as a spare.

Thus, for a quick fix, it was recommended (again, for a quick fix), to use the included spare 10A fuse instead. Well, until the time you can roll up to an auto store to buy an unaffected 7.5A fuse.

So, if you have a Rocket that is like 3 years old or something, buy new fuses from a good source and replace, just in case.

Thanks A1A, I'll go track down some 7.5amp mini fuses today.

I have a 2022 3R and after 5400 miles the 7.5 key fuse is blowing out while riding. The problem with this is the bike shuts completely down with no warning and won't restart. I replaced the 7.5 fuse and the bike would start a couple times and then blow out again. The bike cannot be ridden with this condition very unsafe. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem. Until I can start this bike and pull the 7.5 fuse without bike shutting down I'm done with it, this will get you killed. No Motorcycle should shut off like this over a key fuse. For safety sake I would suggest you start your bike and do the same. If it shuts down you have a problem because your one small fuse away from becoming a greasy spot on a busy road.

I am having the same problem, but with the headlight one!

There is a recall- Triumph has upgraded the fuse to 10 amp.

2021 Rocket 3R intermittently blowing battery fuse

Good afternoon everybody! I’ve had my rocket 3 for about 7-8 months now and lately intermittently it will blow the 7.5A battery fuse when I turn the bike off. I say intermittent as the bike can go 3 days of constant use before blowing it or at one time it blew it 3 times in one day. It always...

Just had this happen to me. I suspected the rear turn signal, since it was damaged from someone bumping into it. Sure enough, the signal having been pulled out slightly and bent a bit caused a short, blowing the fuse every time I attempted to start the ignition. Waiting on a replacement light to connect, test, and reinstall.

I have read a few posts about a recall abou changing the 7.5 fuse to a 10 amp.
Must have been a reason .
I think there is two 7.5 fuses and if ir was mine i would do both
Personally i would think that if it blows the 7.5 that I will blow the 10

Yea I don’t see how that would be a fix. All you’re doing is changing the resistance in the circuit by upping the fuse size. If it’s popping a 7.5 by putting a 10 amp it’ll increase the amperage in the circuit. These manufacturers think keyless is the way to go… keyless sucks. I have a 2020 rocket 3r. I’ve owned it for 4 years and have put 47k miles on it. Only two issues in that time… one new battery, and the **** key fob. The key fob has been a nuisance the entire time I’ve owned the bike. I actually have a buddy who’s an automotive technician and a locomotive electrician. He said he’s going to look up some wiring schematics on my rocket and see about wiring in an actual ignition switch on the bike so I can make a physical key for it like a normal vehicle.
