There is a possibility that he just wants to keep in touch because its not that he doesn't care about you its just not in that way. If you two can still talk and be friends then go for it. The problem lies in if he is interested in just keeping the sex or other acts up. If that is the case then cut contact with him and move on.
You'll know if that is what he is interested in pretty early on. When my past relationships have ended I still care about the person and want to see them happy so I would try to stay friends. It is perfectly normal even though most people can't do it.
Also look at how the break up was. If it was one sided and angry then maybe its not a good idea but if it was mutual then it should be fine. Just don't let him use you.
Good luck.
