"Continuity" on the old multimeters with a multi-setting dial switch, usually adjacent to the 'ohms', marked "cont." or similar.
Or, if you have a more modern one with some kind of a 'mode' push button, push it until 'cont." appears in the LCD screen.

The leads in:
... the multimeter: red in "+", black in "-"
... the switch: not necessary, just measure using the wires that connect to the switch.

Then, FWIW check under the tank for any wires touching the cylinder head - when I got my bike it kept blowing fuses, because one of the wires touched the cylinder head and the plastic insulation was melted off.
