Within seconds of starting bike - engine dies - 10 amp fuse blown . Replaced fuse, immediate blown when turning key in ignition. Let it rest 10 minutes, start bike , put in gear and move forward 10 feet, it dies - same 10 amp fuse blown. Bike has new battery.

Somewhere there is a short circuit allowing the current to flow straight to earth on the engine or the frame. Blowing a 10 amp fuse means this is a very heavy current so do not be tempted to either fit a higher rated fuse or bypass the fuse. Almost certainly this would cause burnt out wiring and possibly start a fire.
This happened when you switched on the ignition and before you pressed the starter on one occasion. On other occasions the bike has started before blowing the fuse. This suggests that perhaps wiring with damaged insulation is making and breaking contact.
You said you have a new battery. Is it possible that during the fitting of this some damage was done to the wiring? Do you have a meter or can you borrow one? See if you can find out where this current is running to earth without replacing the fuse. ie check after the fuse with a meter.
At times like this it is good to have a friend that is an electrician to help you check.
Good luck.

Check tightness of bolt where (carb/FI) goes into intake, and where intake goes into engine. Check gaskets in those locations, if any. Sounds like heat is causing some material to distort, causing a vacuum leak.

This is normal. Its part of the start up diagnostics where the sensors needs to see the wheels rotate 1 or 2 revolutions to verify proper functioning of the ABS system.

Sounds like you need to check your charging system.Battery when engine running alittle over idle should charge at 14.5 volts. If it does not check the output of your stator by testing lead at the regulator rectifier... It may be you have a bad regulator rectifier...

try recharging the batery first then check charging system i think its not charging the battery or the battery is a dud one

No, very unlikely that the battery has anything to do with this problem
When you changed out the battery, did you remove the fuel tank completely or just prop it up??
There are two fuel lines (supply,return) and an electrical connector for the fuel pump that must be disconnected when you remove the tank.
I would suggest taking a close look on the RHS of the tank near the seat and ensure that the fuel pump connector is properly seated and that the fuel lines are properly connected.
Good Luck!
