QUESTION: Yes. When the starter sticks and i turn the bike off the starter not only doesnt disengage it keeps on running(starter not engine)Engine shuts down when i turn off ignition. Starter wont stop until i disconnect batt.

Answer
Your solenoid is sticking and that is why its still turning. Even though you replace the solenoid you are going to have to replace it again. the new one you have is bad. I use accell solenoids and I dont have that problem
Good luck and happy riding
