As others have already stated the repaired key switch will have three small screws in the cover if you look up between the forks you can see the bottom of your key switch. If you see three small screws holding the cover on the key switch it is the fixed one,if not then its old. I had a 84 parts bike and pulled the key switch out of it and repaired the one on my bike. I cleaned the copper connections and applied some molly 60 to lube it and it has worked fine ever since.---------------Hal

My 84 1200 did the same thing.EVERYTHING went dead.It was the key switch.I sprayed electronic cleaner in the keyhole and blew it out really good about five times while it was on the bike and it has never shut-off since.Evidently the stuff made it to the contacts somehow.
