Just my 5 cents or whatever the exact phrase is  .
When i bought my bike i got it from a guy who almost killed himself stunting. so the bike was in very bad shape and it had a lot of crushed items on it. i got stoped in my weekend ridings with no power and a blown fuse just like you said 2 times and then i got pissed off and took the bike apart. i noticed a small leak from the tank and injection pump housing so i took the unit apart from the tank.
then i saw that it was leaking a bit for the tank was repared from a crash and it was not done in the perfect way.
The most important thing is that in there i found my problem an it was the 2 wires that were powering the fuel pump. because of the crash the plastic plug which connects them to the pump got crushed or cracked and some metal wire from the two separate multi-wire cables were very close to each other. i assumed that when riding through heavy bumps they would surely touch each other and short circuit - a blow fuse. i used some thermo shredding hoses that the auto electricians use to isulate the two wires and that was the end of my problem.
could it be that this has happened to you also?
best regards!
PS i could have been blown to heaven i guess - riding with a fireball between my legs but i think i am a lucky bastard.

After thorough looking, and shaking wires and connectors, I found nothing. So.... what i did was, tape up the wire where I saw the droplet of whatever and moved it so nothing can leak onto it. Every ride, I'll stop and check to see if I spot any moisture. Thats a start for now.

I take it you're going to avoid taking it to the stealership until you absolutely must?

Roger that. If it is a leak, im sure I can Figure out where its coming from, then order/replace the part myself, unless its the tank.

I mean fixing, as in welding. I sure hope I wouldnt have to replace a tank for a pin sized hole, if even that big.

I read through this and I don't think I saw so far where you said you had, but you have you tried lifting the tank and checking the wires around it?

Was I supposed to lift the tank? Lol, man..................I lifted the tank, removed the Airbox, removed seat, removed fuse box(while still connected), removed right side fairing, and shook every wire from the roota to the toota while running the bike.......nothing. So I taped up any wire/connector that even looked like it could be suspect. Lemme ask this.....Is regular gasoline combustible enough to ignite from a single droplet of gas, caused by two wires grounding out?

HIGHLY doubt u have a hole in your tank and even so, then you would just take it off.. drain it and let it dry out.. then JB weld it
