Brown fuse link, 2nd in from off side of 1150

[Droopy Dick]

My bike keeps blowing this fuse.

When it's gone, the instrument lights do not work. But these are very small lamps which I can't believe are on a 7.5 amp fuse.

Can anyone tell me what circuits this link fuses, and what colour wires I should check to see if they have chafed away or earthed out.

Many thanks.

A related thread gives details of the fuses in the fuse box. I printed it and have it stuck inside the fuse box lid.
