On my '78, that's an 'accessory' fuse; for hooking up an electrical goodie that you add to the bike...Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

If you are using a new fuse block that has an extra slot you could even eliminate that extra auxiliary terminal altogether. As steve said its just for add on stuff. It is hooked up to a small 2 prong connector behind the fuse panel and you could just wire it into the spare port on the fuse block (if you have an extra) and then its all in one place. Or you could just get rid of it altogether, whatever floats your boat!

On mine, the main fuse for power is on the opposite side (or at least WAS, before the fuse box mod), in a sigle holder just in front of the battery. I know not all the years did it that way though. I just left that giant holder under the fuse block there for looks, since it wasn't in the way of anything. If I need an accessory fuse, I have an extra slot in the replacement fuse block from TC.1980 XS850SG - Sold

He has a 78 and they did not have a separate main it was built into the fuse block. Pretty sure it is going to be the auxiliary fuse.Originally posted by CatatonicBug View PostNathan

Hi Paolo,Originally posted by paolo1 View Post
how about you amend your profile and add a signature line that sez what model bike you have?
IF you have an XS11SG the main 30 Amp fuse is in it's own separate holder behind the left side panel. Other years and models have them in other places.
When you install a blade type fuseblock you can put the main and the accessory fuses in there too.Fred Hill, S'toon

The engine number, stamped on a flat on the crankcase above the clutch cover, and under the air box, will have a number like that starts with the model code and then the serial number. The first three digits are the model code and they consist a number, a letter and another number, mine, for instance is 3J6, which indicates a 1980 SG. If the bike has the original engine then the number on the steering neck will be the same. Once you have the number check here http://www.xs11.com/faqs/153-serial-...ry-colors.html tio tell you what model you have. Once you have the model, edit your signature to include it so we can assist with model specific answers.1980 SG. (Sold - waiting on replacement)

The number on the engine might not be correct. Look on the right side of the steering neck. It will be stamped into the metal. The engine could have been changed but its much less likely they the frame has been switched.Nathan

Good day paolo1. It would be helpful to know what model your riding but if your talking about the 78 / 79 standards or 79 specials, it is a fuse for optional items like driving lights, "true" air horns with relays etc.Originally posted by paolo1 View Post

battery tender
I know this thread is old but I'd thought to add this in case anyone searches - the aux fuse terminals are where I added my battery tender leads - I left the short pigtail zip-tied to the frame and just hook up as needed without needing to undo a side cover.

Could you elaborate on this please? By 'battery tender' do you mean some sort of battery charger? Do you mean that you have wires attached to the two terminals in the auxiliary power thing permanently and then attach a battery charger to them? It sounds like a great way of avoiding taking the battery out to charge it (panel off, seat off, battery stay unscrewed etc etc) , so I'm hoping that's what you mean. If so, what kind of charger are you using???Originally posted by jwhughes3 View PostXS1100F 1980 European model. Standard. Dyna coils. Iridium plugs. XS750 final drive (sometimes). Micron fork brace.
