Good afternoon, I am wondering if there are any known issues with the ignition switch on the R80s. The last couple of weeks my 85 R80 naked has been abruptly cutting off while riding. and in most cases restarting because I was rolling and in gear, of course some backfiring because it turned off under power. I have checked all main connections from battery to diode board,alternator, relays and plugs for corrosion. Today it cutoff while accelerating and restarted, I tried to simulate the symptoms by wiggling the key while riding and either coincidence or similar fault it cut off but going to slow to restart while moving. I disassembled the ignition switch to check for corrosion but none evident, but I did lightly sand all the contact surfaces in the switch itself. I havnt tested it yet as it is late my time. The battery is definitely good. I have noticed it only does this within 5 minutes of starting it after sitting for several hours. any ideas are definitely welcome. Ride safe
