Bike cranks without touching starter

So...yea sometimes I can just put my key into ignition, turn to on, and the bike will try to crank. Kill switch can be in the off position. Buttons don't appear to be sticking and the leads don't look like they are shorted in the switch. Any clue?

Last time that happened to me, the starter relay was shorted out. Disconnect the battery, then the leads to the starter relay. Check for continuity between the posts on the relay.

Possession. Try holy water in the rear brake reservoir.

Soo...I found 2 of the wires going to the starter motor stripped and frayed. I'm thinkin that was it.
