He seems to have a short in the starter wiring. What mods has he done to his bike? Has he changed handlebars, or disturbed the right-hand handlebar switches for any reason? I suggest tracing the wiring from the starter switch, checking for electrical continuity and any damage, such as a pinched wire.
