Default 400ex electrical problem

i recently just burnt out my tailight, when i tried to replace it with a bulb that was supposed to work, i blew a fuse or something, as soon as the buld made electrical contact with the wires, everything on my quad went out, there is no power to anything in my quad including the starter and the spark plug, where is the fuse that i should change and is it a universal part i can buy anwhere and not some rare part im gonna be looking for for months, any response is helpful

First of all, even with the fuse blown you can still "bump" start the bike! This is important to remember, if you ever blow a fuse out on the trail, miles from home. (Just turn on the key and kill switch, put the bike in gear, and pop the clutch going down a hill.) The starter and lights won't work, but at least you can still ride the bike.

The fuse holder is on the left side in front of the battery. There should be a spare fuse in the holder, so just replace the blown one, then sort out the cause of your short.
