fuses or computer maybe?

There is a main fuse:
Remember that the battery voltage is like this:
100% 12,70V
75% 12,40V
50% 12,20V
0% 11,80V

Once mine was showing 12 plus volts, but didn't start. I put it for charging over the night and was all fine next morning, figured the ampre wasn't enough.

I was riding home the other night and a car pulled up next to me and kindly told me my tail light was out. Brake light worked, tail light was dead.
I get home and pull the fuse, which I think was combo brake/tail, or had multiple light sources on same circuit. Fuse looked fine. Replaced anyway and fixed it. My biggest fear with vehicles is electrical gremlins...

Update- checked and replaced main fuse as it was blown, power was restored. Ran fine for one ride, turn key thismorning for second ride and fuse is blown again 
what could it be??? a short somewhere or something?

Sounds like a short to me. I'd take the seat off and start at the battery, looking at all the harnesses as they run from back to front to see if any of them are worn away from being pinched or improperly routed in some way where the insulation wore away and touches either the worn wire next to it or metal somewhere shorting the positive to ground.
Should be covered under warranty, I'd think.
My 821 SP did that last night in the rain. It's sitting in my garage now and all fuses are OK. It just won't start. The only thing that works are the park lights.
Not confidence inspiring
I had something similar happen while riding. Hit the high beams to flash a guy that was entering from a side road, and the entire bike went dark except for the park lights. The engine was still running, so the battery was okay, but once I turned off the bike, nothing but the park lights worked. Dealer replaced the dash under warranty. I was told by the mechanic that when there's a short, sometimes this messes up the dash, which is pretty much the nerve center for all new Ducatis.
