Your fuse panel cover should have descriptions telling you which fuse powers which circuits. Unfortunately I don't know what the "10 amp" fuse powers on your F2, I ride an F1 Hurricane and it has multiple 10 amp fuses for different circuits and the cover for the fuse panel tells me which fuses are which so I would think an F2 would have that aswell. I would have to agree with Boxdgm, try and find out EXACTLY which 10A fuse is blowing, that'll help alot. Good Luck.

Well, the R/R's on the whole CBR-series were poorly engineered. It is a common
complaint on an other-wise flawless platform. I'm guessing, when the r/r started
failing, it was sending poor voltage to the head-light and caused it to over-heat.
You can get a new head-light plug end at any auto store. I recommend soldering
the connection along with heat-shrink tubing. I have had good luck with the
crimp-style connectors, but I like the cleaner look the bundle has.
That should take care of the head-light, hopefully with the new r/, you'll
be good to go.
