bike stays on after keys pulled out

[v-twinwalker]

so all my electric stays on after the key is took out, and turning it any which way wont stop it, i feel like its because something inside that gets pushed to turn on everything is stuck so im going to try to get to it anyways but any pointers?

Surely just the ignition switch is foobar. Pop the bottom off and check the contacts haven't gone green and as you stay aren't shorting out against each other 

[v-twinwalker]

they're not green, ill add that it wasnt doing this at all earlier but the piece that hold the ignition in the case is loose, so maybe thats it

 

[v-twinwalker]

yeah was an easy troubleshoot its because its loose in the case, just have to mend the plate so it in there correctly so my ignition sits in the case flush,  thanks for the advice tho

I'd check the fuse box back,also

[v-twinwalker]

the issue was the ignition wasnt sitting in the case right, but just got my battery tested and it doesnt hold charge well and gets hot, can that be why my main fuse blew

 

[BigT]

Possibly. But, heat generally comes from resistance, which comes from corrosion

Did you check the contacts in your ignition? They're likely arc damaged

the battery got heated during the test at oriellys, i got a new battery under warranty and now everything works good, ill check for things getting heated but idk the dude at oriellys said most of those batteries are junk hence the 90 day warranty

That's mental - they sell a battery they know to be shite, only give a 90 day warranty because they are shite and end up having to replace them because they don't last longer than 90 days - that makes a lot of financial sense on there part! Surely a £10 / $10 more expensive battery that doesn't fail would make money rather than lose it ?

[v-twinwalker]

i mean i got it with the bike, aslong as i can keep replacing it for free i will lol, ill get a better one in the future if they really end up being shit all the time, just cant right now

+1. Get a decent battery! Mine read 13V, and was f*cked! Worth spending a few extra pesos!

Yeah, O Reillys is where I go for advice on my motorcycle that was made before he was born

o nice so i guess they have to know about the motorcycle to know about a battery and have a test machine that tells you if its okay.

It's a large chain of auto parts stores in the US.  They likely don't care if they loose a little on a few bike batteries.  They want you back in the store frequently, buying stuff there.
