Curious if any 1290 owners have experience your bike continuing to run after you turn the ignition off? This has happened to me twice. The scenario was while still rolling at about 5-6mph I turn the ignition (not the kill switch) off and while the bike was in motion and it continued to run. Maybe it has a "safety" feature for the abs or something if the bike is still in motion. Now I would imagine if I were to hit the kill switch while rolling the bike would immediately shut down. I did not experiment with that yet but am curious if anyone else has experienced the same? Or if you know the reason?

The ignition switch isn't a traditional "turn it off and turn off all the electrics" switch, it's a "tell the computer we want the ignition off", so the bike will continue to run until the ECU decides it's OK to turn it off.
Mine runs for a second or so after turning it off when the bike's stationary, and stops immediately with the killswitch.

I’ve only turned the ignition off whilst rolling to a stop once on the 1290 and yes it did continue to run until I had come to a halt.
