It's gotta be an alarm issue.. My best guess anyway.. Good Luck.

500 miles... = back to the dealership... maybe they can squeeze him in between accessory installations...

Hard to pin point without a wiring schematic. I would agree with WG on the alarm system being the most likely culprit, if the problem was there from the get go. Even if it did just start, 500 miles is still a brand new bike. Back to the dealership with it!
