Indian FTR 1200 - Owner's Manual > Fuse Replacement
The fuse panel is located on the right side of the unit.
1. Remove three fasteners 1 and v-cover 2 on the right side of the unit to access the fuse panel.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. If any fuse is blown, turn off main switch. Install new fuse of specified amperage. Turn on switches and see if system operates correctly. Repeat fuse failure indicates an electrical problem.
CAUTION Do not use fuses of a higher amperage rating than what is specified.
If the correctly rated fuse continues to blow, something is wrong and needs to be corrected. Substituting a higher amperage fuse can lead to extensive electrical system and vehicle damage.
4. Upon reassembly, torque cover fasteners to specification.

The platform should be a minimum of 12 inches (30 cm) square. DO NOT attempt to lift the motorcycle without proper equipment. Always secure the motorcycle properly before lifting so it cannot tip or fall when elevated.
