Sounds like your battery may be losing power.
Flick the engine off and you're relying on the battery, which will begin dropping voltage straight away as its still powering lights etc.
As the voltage drops past a point it triggers the warning light etc.
Nothing to worry about if the bike starts ok, but I'd check the voltage in case you need a new battery - the approaching colder season is when these problems appear and the first sign of frost has forums full of 'why won't my bike start' questions
