Prprobably best to start with removing seat and fuel tank and doiing an inspection of wiring harness...all good, inspect each light socket for damage....include any added items on the harness.
If all that looks good...try temporarily unplugging horns...on Yamahas the horn is usually electrically "hot" and then runs to horn button where it is grounded.
A defect in the horn can short out and blow signal fuse.

SOURCE: my 2007 yamaha v star 650 keeps blowing the fuse

There seem to a 'live' wire (in the turn signal, brake light or horn circuit) touching the frame of the bike and thus the fuse blowing.
You will have to trace out the short-circuit.
You can start wth removing the connections to the turn signals thn fit the fuse and see if it still blows ....like wise remove the wire to the brake light and thn check if the fuse blows, same to the horn.
In short ..you can remove all the wires connections to these and thn fit the fuse and refit the wiring connections one by one ,where the fuse will blow after connecting the wire to say brake light thn the problem is at the brake light wiring ....likewise to the others ...onces you identify the circuit tht has the problem thn it will be easy to trace it and rectify it.
Hope this helps!

Why does a 2002 Yamaha 650 Vstar classisc keep blowing the signal fues when ever the front or the rea brakes are applied?

I would suggest the brake/tail light bulb is shorting to earth,take the bulb out and check the earth tag in the bulb holder isn't bent over and touching the brake light live feed,it's common to see this happen

I have a 2001 Yamaha vstar 650 classic turn signals work brake light works but my head light don't come on?

Does your tail light come on when you try your head light if not try tracing the wires from the switch looking for a break or burn hope this helps if not it could be the switch you could try to clean the terminals or simply touch the live of the neutral when disconnected from the switch and see if you get any light if you do your switch has gone for some reason

I have brake light and horn problem

you have a hot short between the brake light or horn wire. It is touching a ground somewhere. Trace out both wires to ground and see if they are not touching somewhere. It may also be a short in the fuse box? May be brake pedal sensor is shorting out. Or the horn has a short to ground.

Brake light and turn lights

Check the signal fuse in the fuse box. it is a 10 amp fuse. If that signal fuse is out, You would also not have a horn or neutral light as well.
