 Nice one Vince, I predict nearly all SB6's will be naked this weekend having surgery ...

After giving this some thought and not taking anything away from your very neat and sensible mod Vince............
Prior to Sibags misfortune with this fuse, I have never heard of one blowing before and..... even if Si was able to replace this fuse, it would probably have re-occurred with the bare wire problem.
After mentally, risk assessing the fuse problem I'll give it a miss (until it happens again )

It did happen to Vince and Sibag. Thats 2. On a ratio of bikes produced to failure then for any jap bike it would be a percentage big enough for recall!

It didn't happen to Vince (?) his mod is a precautionary measure to eliminate his worst nightmare occurring, or have I missed something?
I agree with the recall. Bimota should re-call all SB6's and have a second crack at designing/building them properly with more quality components

The fuse is not blown up on my sb6.
But, I'm afraid that a curse on me there, I have often seen the main fuse blows on my older motorbikes.
And yes.... There is always a cause, but I'm faster now where I should look for the problem. 
I can not sleep if I do not know what is wrong...  
Sometimes I don’t sleep at all.  |

Thats a nice little mod Vince.
I may have to get some connectors etc ordered,
And it sounds like it may have happened to evilchiken ??
I didnt even know the fuse existed untill I trawled this site.
It is a dumb location. But I suppose they wanted to put it near the item they were fusing as it quite a heafty fuse.

Me too I'm a bit scared of the electric harness of this bike. Quite confusional with wire colors mixed up, batterie(s?) located where only a drug addict could place them... radiator fan so close to exaust pipes...
bah, italians!

Too much wine, and then to the drawing board.
I once worked with Italians, believe me.... it happens. 
Fantastic people.
