I'd get a mutimeter and ohm check the fuses as they can look good but have failed internally.

Look here for fuse information:

Fuse And Fuse Holder Designations

1. The older Kawasaki’s use a glass tubed fuse with the designation of AGX 1” long. Most good auto parts stores can get them for you. They are ¼” in diameter.

2. The more common AGC is 1 ¼” long and may not fit the smaller fuse clips. Again, ¼” in diameter.

3. To clean and polish the fuse clips, I use a cotton swab(Q- Tip) and some Brasso metal cleaner or Turtle Wax Chrome Polish. I suppose any good metal polish would work.

4. These fuses can fail internally but look good, only by removing them from the clip and electrically continuity checking with either a self powered test light, or a multimeter set on OHMS can they be determined to be in good shape.

5. A physical inspection of the metal end caps for tightness will tell you if the fuse is serviceable.

6. Most modern motorcycles are now using the automobile “Blade” style fuse with the designation of ATC or ATO.

7. The reduced sized “Mini” Blade style fuse holder uses the ATM size of fuses.

8. If the fuse and fuse holder overheat, it could soften or anneal the grip of the clip, it might require squeezing the clip to restore the tightness.

9. A list of where to purchase “Blade” style fuses and holders:

As Mr Folks said,fuses can look good but are actually pooched.Go spend a buck or two,replace all the fuses,clean the terminals in the fuse block and see what happens.bj

I'd think you should be able to read with a mutimeter one side of the fuse clip to ground(or the negative battery terminal)with the fuse out of the clip.

Now if you have wiring problems like broken conductors inside the insulation due to flexing, troubleshooting suddenly becomes more bothersome.
