small electrical problem

okay so heres my [problem,
I have an 86 vfr700 that I just got on the road, rode her to reggies everthing was great no problems. rode her down to LA that sunday and everthing was good until I blew the main 30 amp fuse for Unknown reasonI replaced the fuse and the bike started right up but all of the litghts on the right side are blown out as well as the high beam, dash lights are out to and the tach stopped working. the bike runs and I have turn signals just no indicator s that they are working... I looke da t he wiring diagrahm and didnt see anything ...am I missing a fuse somewhere? also, is the r/r SUPPOSED TO GET HOT? and is the battery supposed to bubble every once in a while?

 

Switch gear

The starter switch is a very good suspect. Your version of gen two has the right controls wired into the left controls and left controls are a sub harness . When the starter button hinge fails and the contacts come apart they often will cause a short and overheat . I have had this happen several times and my 86 broke the last time it was on the road and I put a later model set of controls on the right side. The good news is the right side is wired the same as later models and plugs right in but 86 F1 left side is unique so if plugs are damaged by heat you may have to repair them.

 

I need a new switch. you saw that. cool I'll look for one ...what year on the later model fits?
