Sorry missed that bit about the main fuse.

As a previous poster mentioned, anywhere a wire can get pinched or chafed is the first place to look.

Hi.

The main fuse supplies a few circuits. As a starter for 10 you could rule out:

(1)  the starter circuit is  (since you subsequently get out & about after starting the engine)
(2) the lighting circuits since they have their own (lesser) fuses.

The circuits subsequently left to check are the..
 
1) Horn.
2) passing switch
3) kill switch / Coils
4) indicator relay
5) Regulator
6) Brake light switches
7) Oil Px light

I'd be looking for a 'floating' black wire around the..
1) Horn
2) Neutral Light circuit
3) Oil Px light circuit
4) F & R Brake light switches
5) Oil Px light

..... in summary the headlamp bowl or within the neoprene 'sock' under the tank / ie frame LHS.

Failing this, as suggested, just wiggle / pull / bounce the loom / all connectors with the engine running on stand. Kinda 'hurts' I know - but not as much as pushing 170Kg 3 miles....
