    I've not had that particular concern. But I, too have a Virago. I also have some schematics. If you'll bear with me, I'll see what I can find...
    *(edit)*
    BTW: it may not matter but what year?

    I've got the entire bike schem for 86-87.
    If when you say main, you mean Ignition fuse, that lead to the ignition system (coils).
    One or the other ignition coil may be getting too hot internally and taking out the fuse.
    Once it's warmed up and popping the fuse, try unplugging first one coil or the other and see which one is the culprit. Let me know!
