    turns out it was a black earth wire on the plug from the bike to the the ignition that was not conecting its weard to think that to stop the engine you have to short the electrics. when i turn the key to off position it earths the firing system to the frame and kills the engin and symple.

It does not have a kill switch?
starting point would to look at starter wires to key switch see if they are pinched in the gas tank area or in the handle bars,
if all looks good replace the switch

    next step will take time to do,

    got to walmart or radio shack get o probe [for pininching in to wires]put it in wire coming from the coil [hot side] see if the switch kills power to it ,back trace the wire using probe untill you.you find the problem area.

    a wiring diagram would make this faster
