Help me out a bit with the PC8 or other power block type devices. When I wired up my XS650, I did it from scratch and have full lights (H4 bulb), horn, Boyer electronic ignition, standard charging etc. It all runs off a single 10A fuse.
Now, I'm not sure if that means some sensitive things like my Boyer (since swapped out for a Pamco) ignition are less protected from bad things happening say with my lighting circuit or what. What's the advantage of having multiple circuits running off multiple fuses? I can appreciate to a certain degree running individual power supply lines back from the lighting, ignition etc. to a central power block, but aside from having the loads for those circuits running on their own wires back to a larger gauge connection to the fuse/battery, what's the advantage to multiple fuses?
Thinking about it I suppose a short in my lighting circuit could in my case disable my ignition rendering the bike immobile, which would suck. But then again I've never blown the fuse on the road - only when tinkering with the wiring in my shop.
Is that it? Just circuit isolation to keep shorts in one from disabling the entire system?
