key in the ignition.. do they all do this ?
when the engine is runing, i can take the key out of the ignition without the engine cutting off.
This is a new addition to my short biking experience. but do they all do that ? Is it safe to ride the bike with the keys in your pocket ? ... monsters.. they'll never fail to amaze me ! |

You shouldn't be able to pull the key out when the lock is in the "on" position. This sometimes happens when the lock gets worn.

I would say the lock & key is just a bit worn. My old FS1E could be started with a lolly stick.....

...it'd probably run faster with it as well. Think of the weight saving. Did you use unleaded for the same reason?

I discovered this particular quirk on my monster too and no it should do it. But it does have it's uses, removing that disc-lock in the dark is no longer a problem.
At least a plain old screwdriver failed to turn the ignition :lol: |
