Default CB static back through helmet headset

My cb statics back through my helmet headset when I push the button to use the cb. It only doesn't it when the bike is running. It doesn't do it when hte key is turned on or on accesory. Has anyone had the push to talk switch go bad on there bike?

Check the shielding on the cable. Should be grounded well.

Lot of things it could be.
But yes it's possible the head set cord is bad.
The cord should have a rf shielding in it and if faulty could cause the static/
Sounds like what'shappening is you're picking up ignition noise through the system.
So check wiring down in the control pod too.
