So I was changing my rear tail light for a led tail light and I shorted my bike... I accidentally hit the frame, now my bike wont even light up, completely dead.  I checked the fuse and nothing so I don't  know what to do.    Any ideas?

I think you checked the spare fuse. The spare is in the open. The real fuse is under the rubber cover with the starter relay and its connector.

Adidasguy you are awesome, within a minute you fixed my bike, clearly my mechanical experience is low :)     Thats exactly what I did and what it was. 

From thinking that the spare one was the faulty one, I even went down to the auto store to buy a new fuse.  Thank you very much, I can have peace of mind.

P.S Your videos are extremely helpful

Well now you have another spare one. I always keep a spare in my tool kit 'cause you never know. Also keep spare spark plugs in there. And because I'm a doof... I keep a spare key in my wallet.

Always disconnect the battery when working with the electrical system. In fact, it's generally best to disconnect the battery when fiddling around anyway.

yup. i carried 2 fuses, 2 plugs, and a plug wrench ( and a quart of oil lol) in a backpack mind you. but pushing a gs sucks. so i wanted to cover just about all i could cover within reason.
