Two ways to 'fix' something...
1) Mote Carlo method. Chose a component - replace it .. if not fixed .. chose something else and so on.
2) Logical Method. Diagnose the problem - find out what component is faulty and replace that.
If the problem is consistent - there all the time both methods will work. If the problem comes and goes .. you'll only be certain of the 'fix' if you use method 2.
Me?
Charge the battery.
Measure the current drain into the bike - ignition key out, if more than 10 milliamps .. then remove fuses .. if no significant reduction in current then the only things left in the circuit I'd think would be the starter motor relay .. the regulator/rectifier .. unplug them and see .. you'll need a wiring diagram .. and some knowledge. Possibly the person who cut the wire .. added some other wires .. check around the ignition switch where it enters the main loom?
-------------------------
Clutch .. change oil. Adjust free play. If still faulty .. replace.
