Will bad sparkplugs affect your car turning off or could it be the ignition coil?

Probably neither. I'd assume it's a condition called "dieseling" or "run on". If the vehicle is carburated it will continue to draw fuel as long as the engine runs. When an engine gets a little older it builds up deposits on the piston and valves. The deposits get hot, glow red and when the engine is turned off, fuel mixture comes in contact with the glowing deposits and keeps the engine running... sort of.

Your motorcycle ignition could be jammed due to damaged parts in the ignition, an ECU safety feature, lack of lubrication, or the key itself could be damaged. If the key is stuck in the ignition, we suggest calling a locksmith before forcing it out. Motorcycle ignitions are more complex than ever, with intricate fuel mapping and ECU regulation. Troubleshooting a motorcycle key that’s jammed in the ignition can be time-consuming.
