[Ducati] '95 916 ignition/injection relay question

[John Sheerin]

>From my Haynes manual, it looks like that is only the arrangement on
the 94 and 95 916 SP and 94 916 Strada.  On some of the later bikes,
they had a an external 15A fuse to power both of those relays.  Then
on other bikes, they had individual fuses for each relay, 15A and 5A
and 15A and 20A.  On my 98 748, I replaced both of those relays with
AR147 relays from Napa when one went bad.  If you do not have an
external fuse (maybe someone put in the wrong relays?) and you wanted
to do some rewiring, it looks like you could put a 15A fuse in series
between the battery and each of the relays.  That would still be much
cheaper and faster than ordering the relay you use now.
