Gen II high beam switches on when ignition off

Bit weird thing happens to my T. Last week battery went flat. Charged it and when connected back all was fine until I switched the ignition off. Few seconds after turning the key, high beam lights came on and wouldn't switch off. When I turn ignition back on everything is back to normal. Any ideas?

Probably a faulty/sticking relay.To get at them,you remove the fairing,(4 bolts) and you will see them between the headlights.
 
pull up your tank and check the block connectors on the nearside of your airbox/injector bodys for corrosion ,they occaisionaly short out there also check your clock connector for corrosion as well
 
Thanks guys for advice. It turned out to be the relay. :thumbup When swapped with the low beam one everything was ok. Weird thing is that it developed a dash problem cause of it. Dash was saying no connection to ECU and wouldn't switched off after ignition off. I could go through menus and all with no key in the ignition. Only when disconnected the battery would it reset. After battery back on, first thing it would show was APMT 00025 error. Eventually neutral, sidestand and the red triangle lights were flickering rapidly. All stopped when disconnected the relay. Weird. It must have been sending false current to the dash somehow. Anyway, new relay on order :) It got me scared for a moment that my ECU was going...:yes
