In a sunny Sunday , S1000RR BlackStorm, 3207 miles. Riding I stop a in a awesome spot for pictures but when I turn off the key, the starter activates, I turned on the key and bike turned on automatically, I press the kill switch , the starter activates again. I press the starter and bike turn on. I continue to home 26 km from the place of situation. When I arraigo home I turned off the switch and bike turned off. Now bike won’t start. Full of gas, Battery full, fuse of 40 starter healthy, when I press the starter red button, I hear a click near the left side , near starter, but won’t start. No messages in the panel. The safety issue is that pressing the kill switch, moto remains starting activate, I was so scared, since in any gas spill pressing the kill switch to turn off it starter activate is a very dangerous situation. :(
