This is where the fuses on your bike are located
If you remove the rider seat, you can see both fuse box locations.
The fuse box contains 6, 10 amp fuses. 5 are in use and one is a spare. The flip top on the fuse box is labeled for each fuse.
To find the main fuse, you have to lift the rubber cap and gain access to the red plastic connector. Take note, the green fuse in the rubber holder (shown, pictured bottom) is a spare.
The easiest way I could find to access the main fuse was to remove the bodywork, gas tank and air box. The air box is very tight to the main fuse holder.
Squeeze the tabs in on the red plastic connector and remove it from the block. NOW you can find the MAIN FUSE. It is well hidden. See the main fuse and the spare in this picture?
What a PITA the main fuse is to get to!

If you hooked up the battery terminals backwards, hooked up jumper cables backwards, shorted a metal object across the terminals, shorted the power/ignition wires on the bike, tried to start your bike off of a running automobile, or severely ****************************** up something electrical, I would check the main fuse (and other fuses) first. The FIRST step in troubleshooting ANY electrical problem is to check the fuses.

Glad I could contribute. I took the pictures with my cell phone camera so they are not the greatest, sorry.

Never realized so much would need to be removed to change the main fuse.
2012 CBR250R The little bike that could.

If you can get it out without removing the air box, I'd be impressed.

It is hard to believe that that is the best location the designers could find for the main. It is nice that they give us a spare fuse, but it is hardly a roadside repair.
I can't wait to check this out when I remove my airbox for my shock swap.
Relocation would be nice, but with that harness on both sides of it, I am doubtful.

If I was in that far into it at home, I would get down and dirty and splice extra lengths of wire of suitable gauge into both ends of the harness, and get that fuse box the hell outta there!
