Welcome to The Forum, do you have the plugs grounded when this happens? I would look at the run switch for a short and possible shorted ignition switch. Do you have power at the coil at all times?

But other than what you have observed with the spark, the bike runs fine with no problems or issues. The battery is not going dead or your not blowing fuses correct? Your just wondering why the spark jumps the gap when you hit the kill switch.
