Yep. There's only one fuse on a TZR and its strapped to the battery housing. I just lost my headlight - turns out the ground cable had snapped so that's something else to check.

Check the plastic covers for breaks in the coating. A bare or exposed wire may easily ground itself on the frame and short the circuit.
