LOL. Sorry had to laugh out loud at work. Some many people on here post about their bikes that won't start or won't stay running or run properly and need advice. Your post about the bike that won't stop running no matter what you do was a break from the normal. I guess maybe you shouldn't stop riding it! Seriously though, have you had any wiring/ignition switch issues with it in the past?

What year/model is your bike? (Some people add it to their signature line in their profile so that we don't keep asking them)

Electrical connection servicing often get neglected.It's no more or less important than any other routine maintenance.At the start of the,"Riding Season",for want of a better description,I pull apart all my Main connectors and spray them with electrical Switch cleaner,
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=4153
and clean all contacts with a little scotchbrite where accessible.Then I use ACF50 once connected,I also use a thin smear of this stuff on my HT leads(Plug Leads) and caps as a water proofer.

This stuff is the Dog's Danglies for bikes for electrical insulation,unseizing bolts,Re-fitting bolts,Anti-corrosion of locks,lubrication etc. HTH :)

Did you get it fixed??? I had the same exact problem. Did not run well and would not shut off no matter what I did. I put the CDI box off of a parts bike and it worked instantly. Runs good, turns off just like it should. Been fighting this for weeks, glad it is fixed.
