I know the standard fuse here should be 40A, but I bought the bike used and recently saw that it has a 75A on it. My question is, could this cause me headaches of something does go wrong with the circuit to the regulator? And could there be some reason that this fuse was purposely set to 75A?

Only purpose I can think of would be that it was blowing 40A fuses... which isn't such a good reason. Stick the proper amperage in there and see whats' what.

This surprises me. IME there's no such thing as a 75A ATO fuse. 40A is the highest current they come in.
