Setting off for a jolly to Germany tomorrow, so I decided to check the tyres. Pressures were a little down, so I got my 12 volt pump out, plugged it into the 12v socket and pop went the fuse. 3 amp! what use is that? No one in this end of Cornwall has a 3 amp fuse - not even the dealer where the bike was purchased. The fuse is a tiny, funny stubby affair. Question. Will a normal small fuse with pronged legs fit? And can I fit a higher amperage fuse without fear of doing any damage? Another question, why does a car 12v socket run my pump and my bike has a silly fuse preventing the use of anything useful?
