Check the bulbs, if they are blown, check your earth strap.
Could also be a dud battery, happened to me last year at Knockhill, a short in one cell, zapped the taillights and, seeedo / rev counter lights.

.. or the voltage regulator / rectifier could have gone. If it runs then check the voltage at various revs. It the voltage goes over 15 then that's yer culprit.

As for the inline fuse I don't know.

Izz,
....... which was eventually traced to a faulty regulator / rectifier ( several boxed of bulbs later) !!!

The jury is still out on that one, as the old and new reg/rect check out the same.
I don't think that it was the same fault both times, battery last time for sure.

Izz,
It was the regulator going open circuit that cooked my battery and blew my headlight bulb.

You may only have been experiencing the problem when riding as electronics have a habit of playing up in changes of temperature nad vibration which would only be present while on the bike.

Question is, have you gone through any more bulbs since changing the unit??
