Are you talking about the in-line fuse, or the main in the fuse box?
I blew the inline once - couldn't find the culprit. Sleeved the main loom, and no probs since....

did it blow switching ignition on or when pressing starter ? Do you have a wiring diagram ? (If not, PM me & I'll scan one for you. Tell me year of the bike.)

Ok, so with the Haynes diag on page 9.24, the white wire coming off the ignition switch is #1 suspect for a short to ground. Follow that wire around & see what you can find. 1st unplugging the alternator plug (connector with brown & white heavier gauge pair) can eliminate (or otherwise) a fault inside the alternator.
