Default Ignition Troubles :(

Starter fires at random times or stays running! Figured it was the Starter Relay sticking so I quickly changed it but the issue persists.

So im thinking it must be the switch.. But before dropped near 100$ on a replacement at the dealer I wana be sure thats it and not a wiring issue elsewhere.

So best way to diag? Pull the harness from the backbone and test the pins where it plugs up? Any other advice?

Right now I just pull the starter relay once the bike starts :/

Open the handlebar switch, get a needle pronged tester so you can poke into the wire and find the core....see if there is an earth leakage. You can pull the various connectors along the run of the wire and find where is chafed.

I had this on a TC Superglide once and it was the relay, mounted upside down and full of water.
