Some more screwing around tonight, and bingo I find it! I took the front cowling off, and starting looking at the plugs. Unplug, replug. Test ignition. Turns out, on the plug up to the ignition switch itself, there is a single wire black/white coming from the top (12 oclock) from the switch. I unplug it, and it fires right up. Run for a while, shut down, start up. Several times. Then a quick ride.
No shut off. I assume this is an off position, and also assume I have to replace the switch. It starts up and shuts off no issues. So for now, I have the plugged taped off.
Where can I get a new ignition switch, and what the hell is that wire?
Thanks for all the help too!
