When removing the battery to charge I noticed the 30amp main fuse was loose. when I took off the fuse box I could not determine what the fuse is supposed to plug into. currently the bike will turn over but not start.

It sounds like there may be an electrical issue with your motorcycle. Here are a few things you can try:
Check the battery connections - Make sure the battery cables are securely attached to the battery terminals and that the connections are clean and free from corrosion.
Test the battery - Use a multimeter to test the battery voltage. A fully charged battery should read around 12.6 volts. If the battery voltage is low, try charging the battery or replacing it.
Check the fuses - Check all the fuses in the fuse box, including the main fuse. If any of the fuses are blown, replace them.
Check the wiring - Inspect the wiring for any damage, loose connections, or corrosion. If you find any issues, repair or replace the affected wiring.
If none of these steps help, you may need to take your motorcycle to a professional mechanic or dealership for further diagnosis and repair.
Is the battery symbol lit on the instrument cluster ? Check fuses F1.26 30amp in the battery junction box , fuse box near battery in the engine compartment . Also check F2.27 10amp fuse in the central junction box , inside passenger compartment under the dash . It won't charge without voltage on this fuses . Also the heavier gage wire on the back of the alternator should have battery voltage , 175 amp main fuse near battery connection .
I have the 1100 diagram and it is either the fuseable link/in-fuse just after the positive or the fuses on the starter relay.

You dont say what bike this is? However this is a common problem, locate the starter solenoide, here you will find a red plastic cover, remove it and you should find a 30amp main fuse, this fuse is to protect the circuit but it is a common blow while jump starting or charging the battery with the ignition turned on, (tip always connect battery and or charger with ignition turned off, a spark from electrical devices at the battery can cause the battery to explode)
Check the main fuse, attached to the starter relay, should be 30amp, there should be a spare stored in the fuse box or on the battery holder. Also make sure the battery cables are clean and tight. Make sure ground cable is not corroded and is tight at the frame.
There is a 30amp circuit breaker between the ignition switch and the starter.The charge wire from the voltage regulator goes to that same circuit breaker. There is also a 15 amp fuse in the fuse box for the ignition circuit. Double check battery cables making sure the contacts are free of corrosion. Good luck.
I had the same problem and after checking all the appropriate fuses was looking for the cost of a new switch and noticed another with the same problem and directed me to the 4-pin connector under the glove box. I noticed electrical tape coming loose and thought maybe the connector had been hit by a passengers foot, etc. I jiggled the connector and reseated it and tried the fan switch and it worked. I then taped the 4 pin connector up against the housing with electrical tape and it has been working fine ever since. Maybe the connectors do not mate properly or are too loose of engagement. Hope this helps....saved some $$$$......Can't believe electrical tape was used by GM in lieu of some other more attractive method.
It's possible that the fan control relay is intermittently sticking causing the fans to run continuously. This can overheat and subsequently blow the fuse. Try replacing the relay and see if anything changes.
