I would say based on information that the ignition switch is faulty,worn, or broken and would need to be replaced. Just to double check , it should remain in the acc position and not go back, doubt it would be financially or otherwise attempt to do a repair.
Sounds like the key cylinder contacts is at fault on the normal position. you may be able to jump this for a test. Maybe also confirm the starter is retracting after it initially engages the flywheel. Sometimes heavy corrosion in the starter prevents this from returning and would stall the engine as the gears stay engaged.
You need to put a gauge on your fuel pump to test your fuel psi just because you have gas to your injector doesn't mean you have the right amount of pressure.
Have you disconnected the battery and tried charging it to see if it would hold a charge disconnected? If not, the battery is probably bad. If it will hold a charge, then connect the battery ground cable, then touch the positive cable to the positive battery post and watch for a spark (make sure the key is turned off). If there's a spark, then something is pulling your batter down when the bike isn't running. Now if you have an electronic speedometer, dash gauges, etc., those will draw in order to maintain memory. Disconnect the wires to them then try again.
There's only so much I can tell you this way. I work on electrical systems often, and it can be a real process.
First check coolant level and correct if low. Sometimes this is all it is. If not, the cooling fan comes on due to a water temp sensor switch. Local auto parts place AutoZone, O'Reilly, Advance can help you find it. Probably bad. The other problem of dead battery is something staying on after car is shut off. Look for aftermarket electronics wired to a non-switched source.
