Today on the way from home from a couple-hour ride, my motorcycle randomly shut off. I pulled over onto the side of the road and couldn't get the power on, so I pulled off the left fairing piece and checked the fuses (Surprisingly the first thing I did was the correct thing...) and the main one was blown. So I grabbed on of the spares from fuse-box and proceeded to replace the blown one. (I had no idea what I was doing. Never worked with fuses before. I now realize this was probably not the right thing to do...) and the second I tried to connect it all the new fuse blew. (The 30 amp one) so I had to push it home.
Luckily I was only a couple blocks away instead of two hours away.. Yay? I guess??

I haven't looked at much else yet. But I don't have any more fuses and I have no idea what the problem is. I've never had any other fuse problems so far.
Anyways.. What might be the problem???
Also where can I get a new fuse/what kind?

P.s. This is slightly urgent as this is my only method of transportation. It is my only vehicle...

Thanks!
