Default Blowing ignition fuse

Hi all. After going through a puddle at speed my bike was OK but an hour later it cut out and wouldnt start. I found the ignition fuse blown and it pops every time you change it out. Im guessing there is water making a short circuit but not sure where to look?

Any advice which wires to check and how would be great, thanks

Easy way to fine a dead short it to unplug items until the short is gone. Once you have the plug that stops the short trace it to the component. You can just touch the fuse to the contacts quickly to see if it makes a heavy spark. This way you don't go through a ton of fuses.

Good luck!

Kickstand is my first guess.

Hi thanks for swift reply. So the fuse wont blow if you touch it on quickly but will spark if its a short circuit?
