Yes, you're completing the circuit through the meter. Make sure it's on the current setting before connecting.

Connect the meter lead to the bike wiring first, it'll minimise the chance that you'll short the battery to ground through the meter (or use the -ve as had been suggested to remove the risk)

Don't switch the ignition on when doing this test, some meters don't react well to high current.

Don't change anything till you've proved that current drain is in the indicator circuit is the problem.
