Could be a bad battery or r/r or both (bad r/r took out the battery).

r/r= regulator/rectifier do a search for lot's more info on it.

Did the motor turn over at all? Will it push start if you replace the main fuse again? I've heard of this before. I think the bike had a hydrolocked cylinder or something.

The search function is a wonderful tool....

That said, check your battery terminals tight.

If there's no problem there then it's most likely your R/R, but I doubt it's that since you said it blows as soon as you try to start it.

i checked the terminals closely it didnt seem to have any problems. But the bike does turn over and starts briefly then it just dies.

Well, sounds like the R/R then. Welcome to the club. Though I've not had any problems with mine....yet, many have. They can fail two ways, high or low. Yours has failed high, allowing full voltage and current from the alternator. You're lucky the main fuse saved the rest of the bike.
