Try playing with your ignition switch/lock.
When did this start ? Was something done to the bike ? Washed it recently ?

You are not turning the key fully off.
There are 2 positions where the key can be removed. One leaves the taillight & speedometer lights on in case you need to be seen when the motorcycle is off. The other position is fully off.
