Hello,

For a few days now I have been able to turn off my ignition, but the engine continues to run, and voltage remains on all circuits. 
Is there anyone, who know's wat is wrong. Will this be a faulty relay or is there a leakage current somewhere? 
With the emergency stop, the motor will stop running, but the voltage remains on the circuits.

 If i remove 1 of the 3 large relays, the voltage will switch off, and if I then turn the relay back on, the voltage will remain in the circuit until I turn the ignition switch back on.

Thank you very much for thinking along!

Kind regards.

Sound like the ignition switch contacts.

Yes, or a (commonly found) broken wire at the Ignition Switch making contact where it should not.

Good question! Sounds very much like what NicoNZ is experiencing. 
 

Has your bike been apart or worked on lately?

No, not lately:unsure:

I did pull out fuse 4, and this did resulted in the engine to stop.

If i turn de ignition switch on steeringlock or Parklight de engine keeps on running.

The ignition switch is not hard to remove from and disassemble to inspect (and repair if necessary).

I had another look, but it was not fuse 4 (ignition lock) but fuse 5 (lights (also 15 Amp)) that stopt the engine if I take it out:huh2:

if the engine is running, it only stops when I pull out one of the little relays. 

kind regards

Had another look today, replaced the relay, but that didn’t change anything. I have checked the battery connections, 3 on the massa and 5 on the positive pole. 
I did found out that wen I shut off the ignition switch, the blinkers and the small light in the hard light don’t work anymore. The main light hi and low still work, also the horn still works. 
If I turn of the engine with the kill switch, en I pull the clutch and then push the start button everything shuts down (so I don’t need to take of the seat anymore😋). 
 

Anybody any ideas left?

If the wires at the Ignition Switch are seen to be all intact at the solder joints, inspect for pinched or damaged wiring (as from a rodent chewing) and be certain the main ground to the gearbox is intact.

I will look again for images of the Ignition Switch fault.

Yes, ik can stop the engine by the kill switch. And if the ignition switch is on off and i pull the clitch and push the start buton, the electrical circuit shuts down:wacko:.

If i dont push the start buton, the dashboardlights (Oil, batt and neutral) and de headlight (and the rearlight) remain on.

Which one of the large relays are you removing to stop the engine ? We will call the first relay from the front of the bike # 1 and the next one # 2 and so on........

 I reread your original post to verify this is exactly what is happening . Have you or anyone installed , modified or replaced anything on this bike ? How long has this been going on ?
