Regulator/Rectifier FAILURE
Most likely your regulator died and blew the main fuse. Follow the Batt + cable to the starter relay. That is where you will find the green 30 amp main (left side outer sub-frame). I suggest you do not try to run it again with the same regulator installed, else you will possibly cause other parts of the electrical system to burn as well as popping the new fuse. If you need to ride the bike a few miles to get it somewhere safe, you could unplug the regulator (right side outer sub-frame, 5 wire connector) and then replace the main fuse. The engine electrical system will run directly on battery power since the alternator will be taken out of the circuit by unplugging the regulator. You could also unplug to headlight to conserve battery power if needed, assuming you will be running daytime.
