Sounds like an earth fault - both the ignition & kill switch put the power to earth when switched off, everything else working OK as they both earth via the main loom?
eta - just looked at a wiring diagram, as it affecting both 'kill' switches, could be the black & white wire from the CDI - this goes to ground when either of the above are switched off, perhaps try earthing it at the CDI connector to see if this stops the motor.

Looking at the block connector all looked to be as it should, I parted it and had a look inside and could see one of the round captive connectors was pushed further back than the others. A quick look at the wires showed it was the black and white wire (earth). A quick jiggle and a poke and all is as should be.
Praise The Lord

That's not the earth wire, the earth is black. The black & white gets put to earth when the kill switch/ignition is turned off - puts the CDI power to ground - these will run with no battery, the CDI takes it's power from the alternator so the only way to stop the motor is to short it.
Look at a moto-cross bike, the kill switch usually has 1 wire & shorts the power to the 'bars.

Picked this up in January, Only just got round to posting, as only been on it a handful of times.
All I can say so far what a mental bike and the noise from those Akrapovic exhausts
Very cool. Does it come with an ASBO. :-)All I can say so far what a mental bike and the noise from those Akrapovic exhausts
