Unhappy 2005 S40 problems

Hi, I recently bought my first bike--the Suzuki S40. I was absolutely loving it, but then just yesterday, encountered a strange problem . . . the bike was making a strange noise, so I went to turn it off, but it wouldn't shut off! then, even with the ignition key out, the bike was still trying to go . . . whenever I released the clutch, it would jump. Strange . . . after several tries, I finally got the bike to turn off, and after a while tried to turn it back on, but the electric didn't even turn on. Anyone ever hear of anything like this before? I towed it home and am bringing it to the dealer tomorrow, but I'm wondering if I just got a lemon?
