Does the NT have the standard ATC/ATM fuses?

Good question, Chris. The only fuse I've ever blown was in my Fuzeblock when one of my Denalis developed a leak and filled up with water in Newfoundland. The Fuzeblock had the mini-ATM fuse.

Blade fuses. That's their name in Europe don't know the US name.
ATC is a regular fuse
ATM is a Mini fuse
ATM is a Mini fuse

I believe the OEM fuses are the larger ATC fuses. My accessory fuse block uses the smaller ATM fuses.
That is how mine was as well... ATC for OEM and ATM in my Fuzebox...

I am still not sure what the difference is between the atc (closed) and ato (open) is

Chris, the ATC fuse ATC fuse has a fuse element that is closed or sealed inside the plastic housing and the ATO fuse has a fuse element that is open or exposed on the bottom of the fuse between the blades.
I guess you probably knew that, but I'm like you, I don't know why one is open and the other's closed.

Warren, RedLdr1, Mike is correct. I changed out my main battery today and low and behold, one of the fuse compartments was right over the battery, and it was full of ATM fuses. ATMs are 11 mm long, ATCs are 19mm. Maybe there is more than one fuse block?
My bike doesnt have anti lock brakes. The VA bike looks to have another fuse compartment but in the book they look like ATMs also. Dont know what size the main fuse is....
