Typically there are three positions to choose from. On means you are using the main tank. Reserve means reserve tank and off means no fuel available from either tank. the off setting is used when trailering your bike.

It could be a connection issue. Check all charging connections for corrosion. If you have too much resistance in one or more connections you'll have a voltage drop across the connection. The voltage drop will make the regulator think the battery is undercharged and pump more current to it. Loose connections will also cause the problem.
