Default 2011 Ultra wil not shut off

The run/off button is not working. Push button to off and the bike keeps running. RPMS change briefly and then back to normal. Have to turn ignition off to kill bike. Any ideas. I am 300 miles from home on a trip.

Have you recently swapped bars? Is it still under warranty? If so find a dealer close by. Could be a bad switch.

Just a guess. Toggle the switch on and off contacts could be corroded.
Just something to try until someone that knows more information of the circuit.

Don't mess with it till you get home, use your ignition switch for on/off. It's running ok, better than the kill switch being stuck the other way!
