It is most likely a fault in the switch. bypass the switch's ignition lead so you have power to the ignition and then turn the switch to the lights on position. If it continues to run then you know the switch is faulty.

Ended up replacing the relays and the ignition fuse and it seems to have fixed the issue. Over thought a simple solution.

FIXED - took out the ignition switch and followed the continuity tests described in the service manual....rather than a KILL, when turning on the lights, the bridge between Red (power) to Orange (ignition) to Grey (lights) skipped the ignition and went to lights solely....took apart the switch and could see crud on the copper contacts, used a brass brush then some 600 grit sandpaper to clean up the contacts and re-did the tests...all good now. whew...although the ignition switch is probably THE cheapest part on this ATV.

Either a relay or possibly the neutral safety switch has failed, or something simple like you accidentally hit the kill switch . I have done that and took me a minute to realize that was all..... I had accidentally activated the kill switch. All that cursing for nothing LOL Hope that was your problem too....Easy fix . If not, fun time chasing down the electrical fault.
