2000 Honda Varadero xl1000 starter motor sticks…? PLEASE HELP

Hi guys, I have the weirdest problem with my bike. Sometimes, only sometimes, when I start the bike and the engine starts running, the starter motor will continue to keep trying to start the bike and even if I turn off the engine, it continues to keep trying.

The only way I can stop it is to turn off the ignition, pop the seat, and pull out the solenoid.

As you can imagine it’s not only alarming but it’s very impractical!


Can anyone shine some light on what’s happening and how to fix it?
