hi there it sounds like it could be you regulator that is overcharching and blowing the fuse because of the heat in it have a feel of it when it is running and see how hot it gets . hope this helps

Need to take off the fuel tank and after intake system from carboretors

If fuse was burned, the problem ought to be in the circuit in which the fuse is situated. That is your staring point for tracing back to the fault, I would think. You have eliminated the starter system so focus on the ignition system.

sounds like a problem i had with my v star if u can charge it and it starts and runs for a bit then dies again check the rectifier which charges the bike

start up the bike,put volt meter on battery terminals,if voltage rises with revs ,the anternator is okay,but if no volts then the alternator or the wiring to the battery is suspect

If its like the xvs650, sometime the speedo end of the cable has a habbit of dropping off, lift the speedo housing and have a look. I had it happen just I got to a speed camera which was funny in the least.

Sorry but you will have to give further details of your problem before a solution can be advised
