Well you have developed a short somewhere.

If it only happens when you use the starter button....then the starter circuit would be the place to begin looking.

I would disconnect the small wire to the starter solenoid that comes from the stater circuit....and see if the fuse blows with the stater solenoid disconnected.....if the fuse doesn't blow with the solenoid out of the system - that would indicate that your solenoid might be at fault.

If the fuse blows with the solenoid disconnected - that would indicate you have a short somewhere in the circuit coming from the starter button.

You didn't say what year your bike is - but it appears the yellow/black wire to the starter solenoid is the same on all years.

I would agree that you isolated starter and solenoid by removing the wire, as long as you don't allow the wire to touch anything.

The wattage of the light bulb will limit the current, so it won't be enough to run the bike. Disconnect the starter and decomp solenoid. push the starter button and wiggle the wires. look for smoke

Pull the connector on the clutch lever, if it still shorts out, then it's in the right control.

The light can't be on to start the bike, or can't be on BRIGHT?

Are you unplugging the light or a fuse from the harness when it does start? Reason I ask is because our bikes (as best I know) can never have the headlight turned off by any buttons or switches for safety reasons. It's always on unless you pull a fuse or unplug a harness, or worst case blow your headlight bulb.

Just asking to help others understand your findings and help you out properly with any other guidance.
