Ignition fuse blown

[okiedokieiguess]

Hello again. Thanks all for the help and suggestions a few days ago, I replaced the fuse and my bike started up just fine then I drove it home and went to start it today and the fuse was blown again.
So the bike starts then the fuse blows at some point after that, or possibly the second time I tried to start the bike.
I know this probably means there is a short somewhere, but where should I start looking?
It is a 1980 GS500e.
Thanks again for any help.

Check around the kill switch, that was causing a similar problem I had... Wire trapped in the housing & shorting out to the handlebar.

Make sure the ground connection from the ignitor is clean.

I will open up the piece on the handlebar tomorrow and see if any wires are touching and if they are I will tape them up.

And where is the ground wire that I should be checking?

Find the ignitor and clean the connections.

If those suggestions don't work. Check the voltage regulator, Or run the bike with it disconnected, see if the fuse still blows
