| What electrical have you done to the bike? It sounds like you have a pinched wire some place. Did you do something to the turn signals?
Look under the seat or the last place you did something.
If you park the bike and use the kill switch that will shut off all power to the ignition and the bike start when you want it to then the problem is there.
Other then that get a test light and start looking for something with power when the key is off. Its pretty hard to help you when we can't be there.
Rule of thumb when a problem a cures go back to the last place you were and check every thing.

Fargo, ND | If you leave the key on even with the kill switch turned off, the battery will likely drain. |
