I've got a 1997 600 bandit, the 10 amp ignition fuse keeps popping every time i turn the ignition on, it turned out the side stand switch was at fault, that was by passed and it started fine, now

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Initially, try with the sidestand folded up and / or the clutch lever pulled in.  Likewise determine if there is a clicking sound when the start button is pressed:

• if there is a clicking sound, locate the starter relay. Follow the big cable from the battery's + terminal; it would end in nother terminal of the starter relay:
  

1. turn ignition ON and kill switch to RUN;
   
2. short the 2 big terminals of the starter relay. Expect a big start. If the starter spins, startr relay is faulty.
   

• if there is no click, then the safety interlocks are preventing the relay from engaging. Check the neutral switch/wire and sidestand switch/wire.

could be the safety switch on the clutch leaver. Turn bar's full right, then left a few times and give it a go.

There is also a safety switch on the clutch lever that could give the same symptoms.
Another thing to check is the fuse block that has a starter relay built in (hidden) above the fuse compartment. My D5 has the same symptoms and this is the problem. If I keep the starter button depressed for some seconds the relay operates and bike starts.
