OK so I ride better than I can read instructions..apparently..looking at the owners manual it states that there is one fuse for the bike and that it's located on the right hand side..but the photo is vague.
Can anyone tell me exactly where it is? And do you need to remove the body work to get to it? :dunno_black:

You have to remove the rear plastic (or at least free up the front and lower it).

There might be two fuses - if you can see one without pulling anything open, that's the spare. It should be in a pocket on the outside of the rubber cover over the start relay. The fuse that's working (or not) is under that cover. If any (stock) electrics on the bike work the fuse is working.

This picture (showing the rubber cover and the yellow spare fuse) is from the thread linked below it. And it's reminding me that the fuse is actually not under the rubber cover, but accessed by unplugging the red harness connector helpfully marked FUSE.

Many thanks for that..everything works as it should..but the one time you need to change over the fuse is not the  time to be hunting all over the bike for it.

...and you can make sure that there actually is a spare fuse in there that is actually good!
