There's a small battery in your switch that has gone bad. If the bike sits for a long time between rides, the battery can't hold a charge. If you take it on a ride, it might recharge to the point that the switch is once again usable. I don't think the battery is user replaceable, but I could be mistaken.
When your bike is turned off, the big battery is completely turned off from the rest of the system. But you need SOME source of power to run the circuit that will turn on the big battery. That's where the little battery on your switch comes in. It's always there, ready for when you push the switch. Once the bike is turned on and the big battery joins the circuit, the little battery is recharged. As the little battery degrades, it doesn't hold a charge for very long. If the bike sits, it goes dead, and you can't turn the bike on.
