#287998 RayHens (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Ignition won't cut off power to system? 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I have an '05 RoadStar, just hit 27K miles. I stopped Saturday to eat lunch, and like I always do, when I can I sit in a spot where I can see the bike. I looked out and my lights were on. But the keys were in my hand. It hasn't given me any indication of a problem. Was told it could be a relay stuck???? Anyone ever have this happen to you? Thanks for any advice, I know I should take it to a shop, but the closest one to me.... well, I ain't too happy with them, if you know what I mean.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #288002 PapaTom (Moderator) I said 4 quarts.

Sounds like a relay problem to me too.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/06/08 17:13 By PapaTom.   FREE SPIRIT 2007 Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #288023 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3801 Re:Ignition won't cut off power to system? 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Lights don't go thru a relay, power to lights is a direct connection thru key switch. 12v goes thru headlight fuse, from fuse red/yellow wire to high/low switch then to lamp. I'm assuming you're talking headlight? I'm looking at schematic now   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #288063 RayHens (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Re:Ignition won't cut off power to system? 1 Year, 11 Months ago   All my lights are on. It will even start with the key off ..   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #288065 hardone2get (User) Who care's what you ride! Just ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 2132 Re:Ignition won't cut off power to system? 1 Year, 11 Months ago   The starter relay on the left side of the bike is bad. That would be my best guess. When mine went the starter kept going even though the key was off. I didn't pay attention to see if the lights were on, I was too busy trying to get the seat off to remove the battery cable.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #288118 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3801 Re:Ignition won't cut off power to system? 1 Year, 11 Months ago   the starter keeps going due to the internal contacts sticking even after the coil is de-energized. the coil only gets energized with the key in the on position, all the lights on are off of 2 circuits, 1 headlight ckt (red/yellow), 2 the rest off the signaling system ckt(brown wire) which both come off the key being turned on. I'm leaning to the key switch, but I've been known to be wrong before too.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #288223 RayHens (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 Re:Ignition won't cut off power to system? 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Thanks for all the input. It was suggested to me today, that I pull the ignition switch and check it for anything loose. Possible a small screw or two have backed out enough for the on/off switch to not catch on rotation. ?? Anyway, taking it off and checking that out. A new is 276. and tax.... I'll let you know how it turns out, in case anyone else should encounter this problem. Ride Safe out there... the idiots are in full bloom.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #288259 RayHens (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 5 UPDATE! Re:Ignition won't cut off power to system? 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Yesterday I shot a little wd 40 down the keyhole and left the battery and the plug that goes into the "stator"? I guess it is. Anyway, plugged everything in and it works fine now. ??? Now, I'm thinking it was an omen. I was riding Saturday in a county that I have a job interview in this Friday. Good sign or bad ??   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #288274 hardone2get (User) Who care's what you ride! Just ride!

If that's true and my switch ever goes bad I will bypass that switch and put in an aftermarket one! That's insane.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #288278 davej (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4201 Re:Ignition won't cut off power to system? 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Even South Seattle sports wants $191.00 WOW!!! If it is bad I would check with someone Like Pinwall cycle. They are a used parts dealer on Ebay. They always have R* parts.   Logged     dave   The administrator has disabled public write access.
