This can only be a wiring issue related to the start/run switch assy. I too agree that your starter is probably not long for this world if you've been running the engine with the start button pushed--don't know why someone would do that.

The starter will be fine.
OP: can you answer post #8 ?
Get out your digital multimeter.

Yeah, you are an a'hole. And I know more about engines, than you do about spelling. I was just trying to find a little help. That's what this is supposed to be about. I've kept my bikes running, by myself for years. Without the shops. So, don't try to treat me like a dumbass that doesn't know anything. So, yeah, go to hell. The problem with this kinda site is people like you, who thinkthey know everything. Go back and work on your spelling, if you don't want to be of any assistance that's cool. But keep your opinionsto yourself, unless you want to help. I'll be riding in a day or so on my own work. Not the stealership. So yeah, F-OFF.
2nd I was being helpful. I just don't have a good bedside manner, and cold hands.
Why would holding the starter button allow the bike to run? Maybe I am missing something. But it just picks up the starter relay coil.
My suspscion is it not really running, just making noise. Figure out why you don't have good igniton.
If you need to prove it and are bored. Disconnect the big wire to the starter. Jumper power to it, while holding starter button, as soon as it starts remove jumper, but keep holding the starter button.
Have you provided on bit of useful information?

If you keep the throttle cracked will it continue to run when you release the button? I seem to remember that the Magneti Merelli stuff as multiple idle settings on the throttle stop. It's not like a Delphi systems with a idle air control stepper.
That's really about all I know on the system.. IIRC, the service manual might have an adjustment procedure.

No, I haven't, because I have none to share on the subject. But the minute amount of supposed useful information you have tried to "share", was shadowed by you simply being a sick. He called you out and I was simply applauding him for sticking up for himself instead of tolerating or condoning your abysmal behavior.
