You have a bad ignition switch only thing that turns battery power on to rest of bike the way to check is to unplug the ignition an leave it un plugged an see if battery still drains there should be nothing hot but the main wires to ignition unless you have bag lights or radio hope that helps you to keep riding
I support drew with his approach to isilating the problem. The battery to frame ground is a must chk.
make sure both cables from the battery, the engine to frame and +ppos are clean on bothe ends of each. Loosen and retughten the headlamp housing mounting bolts and horn mounts. Isolate and test the non-functioning accessories as directed. Good luck _Ned_

Seem there is small current drained to body (mass) at all
times. When you use the bikes this thing considering nothing but the problem
arises when you park the bike for (quite) long of time. A small drain still
continue that killing your battery. Please check the cable harness and of course
all relays for current leaks. You can use a good/sensitive digital multi tester
to judge where does the root cause lies
Look for wires that cross any part of your main frame. If you can remove the Fuel tank and check the wires running along the upper frame. Sounds like you got a High impedance connection to ground some where. To check drain you will need to install a tempory amp meter between the meter and the postive wire on you battery. Only a sensetive multimeter will allow you to see very small drains. you may remove the postive from the battery and install it to the black lead of the meter then put the red lead on the postive turminal. Be sure and set the meter to read for the highest possible amperage scale on the meter and work down till you see the reading on the meter. If you do not get a reading on the meter. Then a drain is not in the wiring. Re-check the battery may have a bad cell but not enough to effect the running in short term. Hope this helps.
