    I have a 1982 xj650 Maxim. I saw in another thread that my problem is probably caused by a 15A fuse. Under my seat the fuse block only has a 20A and three 10A (I think 3). Any idea on where the subject fuse is? I can't ride till I fix it!

    Well, it's not the main fuse, or the bike wouldn't run. The fuses should be labelled, and one of the 10As should say something like Signal. That would be my bet. If you have the original fuse box, though, it's more likely that that's the problem - the original clips oxidize and lose connectivity, or break. You should replace it with an ATO type fuse box.

    The bike in the other thread was a 700. 650's don't have a 15amp fuse. Follow the given advice...replace the fuse box. Hope this helps.

    Yup....wiggling the fuse box got it going. New box it is.
