Which year manufacture? The wiring differs from 2007 to 2008. There is no fuses. You are dealing with a CANbus network so the fuse trip is programmed. Check the bulbs and connections. It should have a warning on the dash LampF (front) or LampR (rear) or Lamps (meaning more than one). If you have the owners manual follow the instructions on chapter 8 pg 122.

Manual download here for your bike assuming it is 2008 model.

Check or replace bulbs Swap main beam bulb for low Try disconnecting the battery for a while What year is the bike?

My bet is on a failed bulb maybe the broken filament has dropped over the contacts creating a short circuit.

So you cleaned the rear lightbulb holder and replaced the bulb....and everything's fine now?

Or were you waiting for instruction to do so

Putting milk in the fuse box will not help !!!!!!

Normal filament has a correct length to heat up and provide correct resistance. A broken filament can drop across the wire prongs inside the bulb causing the fuse to pop or canbus to trip.
