More likely a short in your wiring harness or starter solenoid. A starter short would be unfused and somewhat more catastrophic.

I think you meant fuse 1 if the 20 amp is blowing.

If I were troubleshooting this I would inspect the wiring from the start/kill switch. Triumph ran the wiring tight and it tends to pull on left lock. I rerouted mine. The pulling was down behind the headlight where the switch array plugs into the fairing harness. Others have reported broken wiring.

You should see 6 relays under the right hand frame member. Pull the 3rd relay from the back. Now the switched 12 volts only travels from the start switch to the empty socket. If you still blow fuses it's the switch or harness.
If you don't blow fuses it could be a shorted starter solenoid coil (downstream of the pulled relay).

Or... Call your dealer.

Here is my rerouted harness.
