I'm having a new problem with my 07 610. The killswitch will not kill the bike, nor will turning the key off. I have to dump the clutch everytime I want to turn the bike off. I disassembled the killswitch and everything looked good, no loose wires or corrosion. What else could be causing this?

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Its a short in the wiring - Probably before the ignition switch (or its the switch itself) thus canceling out the ignition switch and the kill switch's ability to open the circuit- get a schematic- then start tracing back, testing the switch (bypass), tracing wires and eliminating possibilities. It surely will have intermittent symptoms once you start digging so be aware of that as you go. (don't want to "fix" it accidentally and temporarily only to not know what you affected)

I've been having the exact problem - what was the out-come of your same issue - I've tried cleaning all contacts @ the coil & cleaned all ground contacts - would very much welcome any help on this. Thanks ed "The Anchor" I'm glad there's somewhere to go for this stuff.
Thanks Coffee for steering me in the right direction. I pulled back the sleeve of the largest bundle of wires at the steering stem, unraveled the electrical tape and found two broken wires from strain. One being the ignition kill and the other the horn connection.
Not sure if this is considered an installation, engineering or wire quality issue (perhaps all three)?
Glad you found the issue.
Things can always be improved, not sure if there is any fault really.
Yup, my brake light mysteriously stopped working one day, it wound up being that the wire was broken in the section of loom between the steering head and the radiator.
I also found that Husky used three different colors of wire for the brake light from one end of the bike to the other.
