So, I'm back

I've been having an absolute blast with my 750C for the past year (!!!), and I've come to my first major problem since getting her road-worthy. I've noticed that when using my left turn-signal, the light on the indicator is not flashing, but solid. I noted that my rear left signal light appears to turn off, while the front one turns on. No biggie says me, I can always get a new light.

Except, now my bike is draining it's battery, much as it did when I first got her. My knowledge is quite well documented here as being highly novice (), but I was wondering if there was possibly some sort of connection between my dead turn signal, and my draining battery (I'm imagining the circuit being like a set of Christmas tree lights with one burned out bulb breaking the whole circuit . . . )

When I checked the stator last year, all seemed well. I've not torn things down yet, as this only just started, and I thought I'd hit you guys up before I got too far into things.
