Same thing happened to my 85 900T last fall. Some folks told me the ignition switch can cause this. You've likely got a short to the starter - mine was at the point in the sheath near the alternator as someone mentioned above -- not in the switch. With a multimeter, you can determine which side of the firewall it's on. There's a connector near the fusebox if I recall correctly. Bentley or Haynes should be useful for identifying the relevant pins in the ignition switch. Good luck.
