I have a problem with my 1981 Heritage Special custom. Just finished building the whole thing and wiring it up but I am having trouble killing the motor.
I have a new ignition switch and new wires with solid connections. Using stock coil, ignition unit, and reg/rectifier. Bare bones wiring with just a headlight, taillight, and license plate light.
When the motor is running and I turn the key to kill the bike it wont shut off. Then I removed the main fuse and it still ran. I even went so far as to remove the battery leads and believe it or not it still kept running for another min after that (although not so well).
The only way I have been able to shut off the motor is to back out the idle screw on the carb or just let out the clutch at a stop with the brakes on.
Im really not to sure whats going on here and was wondering if anyone else had a similar problem.
