Starter solenoid (relay) is stuck. Or the starter button is stuck pressed. Follow the heavy wire back from the starter. It goes straight to the starter solenoid.
The starter button powers the solenoid with low amperage 12V when you press it. The solenoid responds by connecting the battery to the starter (high amperage).
On the Templars, the starter button can stick if the screw holding it onto the handlebar is overtightened.
You can also disconnect the 12V wire from the starter button (switched) where it connects on the solenoid. If this stops the problem, then it is the starter button sticking, not the solenoid. If the starter keeps running even with the starter button wire disconnected, then you solenoid is stuck.
Another way to verify if the solenoid is stuck is with a voltmeter (set to ohmeter function). The two big poles on the solenoid will show zero resistance if the solenoid is stuck.
