I have a 2001 yamaha roadstar 1600cc. Sometimes when I hit my starter switch and then let it go, my starter continues to turn over my engine. just as if I was holding down the starter switch. Have any answers?

Bad connection at motor or solenoid bad or startr switch

replace ignition drilling out ignition set off your security system and by passing the components will not work it will cause more damage this is why you dont try to hot wire any vehicle

Roadstars have a seat lock operated via ignition switch.
Insert the key into the ignition switch. Turn the key in the counter-clockwise direction as far as you can (don't push down on the key...just turn). You'll hear a click release sound from the front end of the seat. The seat front should now lift for you. Sometimes the lock can stick so you may need to push down on the seat front while turning the key to get the latch released.

see if this works, thanks steve
