My suspicion is that he means the ignition switch is bad. Of course,
ignition switches usually fail because somebody breaks them in order
to steal the bike... :')

This can be true. One time my parents called me up and told me a tenant
had abandoned a bike, did I want it? I said sure, went through the
usual procedures for claiming abandoned property, as well as called
up Long Beach police and asked, "Is This Bike Stolen?" I didn't want
to put any effort or money into a stolen bike. They said "we'll check
and get back with you." Later, they got back and said, "No, That Bike
Is Not Stolen." A nice Honda 750C for my efforts, cool.
So I went ahead and gave it to a shop, with a "Make Run" order. It came
to $270, if memory serves.
About a week later, some jerk detective called me at work to tell me the
bike was stolen, and I had to give it back. I did not appreciate this,
as I was working as a programmer for an alarm company, who were, as you
might expect if you think about it, quite paranoid about security. I told
him as much, as well as that I expected to be reimbursed for fixing it.
Eventually, the cops did an exchange through a middleman, the guy got a fixed
motorcycle back, I got my money back. The only net negative was a large
reduction in my opinion of Long Beach police. Oh, and they arrested the
middleman for receiving stolen property - they were looking for an excuse.
I'm glad he didn't decide to kill me - he understood exactly what the
cops did.
Remember, if you ask the cops if something is stolen, they will say "no"
and investigate _you_. Just like if you report a bomb...

Or keeps two pounds of keys dangling and jouncing around from the ignition
switch every ride...
