Just press and hold the power button on the radio dash panel. This happened to me once, but it's never happened again. And it may be coincidental, but the day it happened I went through a rain storm, so I suspect water might have had something to do with it.

Interesting, never seen that one before. I know the radio in my car and truck stays on after the ignition is turned off until the door is opened or it times out.
I would say as high tech as these units are it possibly has similar features built in.
I have waited to see if it tims out in say a minute or two?
Can you press and hold the power button and it turn off?
I would pull the main fuse as mentioned. If that does not solve it go directly to the dealer.
Keep us posted on the outcome.

Op were you using a Bluetooth linked cell phone when you shut the bike off? I remember reading something about this so I just tried it on my 14 FLHTK. I made a call with the cell phone that is linked to the bike. When I turned the key off, the radio stayed on until I completed my call. As soon as the call ended, the radio shut off. I'm not sure if that could be what happened to you as my screen was showing the call info, and not the radio info that you show.

Turn the key off going down the road and the radio stays on. It does not shut off until the VSS senses the vehicle has stopped. Faulty sensor or calibration (tuner) could be sending a false reading to the BCM.
