[QUOTE="turbodave_98, post: 366824, member: 155"] I had an internal failure of the ignition switch on my 06 AE at about 10k miles. I was lucky enough to be able to jam a toothpick into the key slot while turning on the ignition and got the bike to start. I rode it about 50 miles to the dealer for inspection without the engine stopping. When I had the technician at the bike, I pulled the toothpick out of the ignition while the engine was still running and it immediately stopped. The dealer replaced the ignition switch and it has not failed in another 20k miles. With the AE, it is not possible to push start the bike rather you have to follow the owners manual for trouble shooting. My advice, is get the switch checked out. [/QUOTE]
