Why does the red key light stay on while I'm riding?

This is going to be one of three things, and you should check them in this order, 1- you have a loose connection, bad/broken ground wire, or an exposed/bare wire on, around, or in line with the rear signal that is staying on. It's common for the wiring insulation to rub through and short at the bend where the signal wires go through the signal mount and run down the rear fender strut. 2- the switch on the bars is sticking or malfunctioning, however, this is less likely because it usually causes both signals to remain on. and 3- the flasher relay has malfunctioned and needs replaced. I'll bet that this is a bare wire, so start by tracing the signal wires for the right side. If you don't find a bad wire, then replace the relay. Let me know what you found out.

There is a switch in your right-hand switch housing which is activated when your front brake lever is depressed.  If this breaks, your brake light will stay on.  To check this, you'll need to take apart your switch housing.  The two screws are a torx 25 and the two holding your master cylinder on are a torx 27.  The switch is right behind the brake lever.  If this is the problem, you'll have to buy a new switch and sodder it in.

The red key indicator is to do with your security system. When you turn the ignition on and put the handlebar control to the "RUN" position, power is applied to the fuel pump inside the fuel tank, that is probably the sound you are hearing.

The red key indicator usually flashes to show that the system is armed.

If you have a problem the only way to really find out whats going on is to have a dealer check the bike for trouble codes, this is usually done by connecting a computer to the data plug on your bike (this connector is usually found under the seat near the battery).

Hope some of this helped.

sounds like you need a tssm (turn security module)

Contact me directly and I'll send you some troubleshooting information. It's out of an older service manual but the information is still good. The wire colors may be a bit different however.
