Ok, so I drove up to the mountains with a friend to camp out. We're both on 550's. smooth sailing the whole 150 mile ride. Go out for beer, leave the store, start the bike up with the electric start. my electric starter stayed on for a while and i didn't know until i stopped at a light. (I think i drove like a mile with this thing continuously engaged before i noticed...#$%*). Pulled over and shut the bike down. When i turned the bike on, the starter was engaging itself; it won't shut off! Pulled the headlight bucket and disconnected the elec. start. Kicked the bike over and back on my way. But here's the scary part: as soon as i pulled away it felt like the starter clutch was jamming up the engine, so i popped the clutch and it stopped. Rode for about 2 miles after that back to the campground with no problems in and out of gears 1st thru 3rd.
My question is: will i be safe to ride all the way back home without my electric starter (though disabled) messing with the bike? Is anything potentially screwed up? What should I look for?
Thanks.
