Default Ignition Fuse keeps blowing

So i got a 2004 500R and my ignition fuse keeps blowing the moment I turn the key into the on position I've taken the bike apart and found nothing and after putting it back together the bike started fine and ran for a few days before the problem came back. any ideas where this short can be?

Welcome to KF

My first guess is possibly a bad/corroded connection since you took the ride apart, it started and ran without popping the fuse after you put things back together. Most likely on the battery side. Are there any accessories on this ride?

Do not take it apart, just verify the connections.

Double check your ground, as well. Clean, corrosion-free.
