Early 1984 1200's came under a recall for a faulty ignition switch. Mine was bad. The dealer if cooperative may look for it however, mine is bad and the dealer told me there are none available.
How I found it was to sit on the seat with ignition on (lit dash) and reach under moving the wires around while turning the handle bars, it would occasionally go dark and then back on.
I wound up buying a complete lockset off of ebay out of an 87 Interstate.
The bad ones do not have screws holding the "white olastic" actual wiring plate to the back of the ignition switch key cylinder. The good ones have a gray/black plastic backer plate with 2 or 3 screws on the wiring contacts.
Dogbone fuse is repaired by using an automotive Blade fuse holder and a 30 amp fuse fitted to the screws the dog bone attaches to.
the Pulse Generators for a 1984 are on the front of the engine behind the crankshaft pulley and the timing belts. I have heard the 1984 is not susceptable to the pulse generator failure because they are cooler out front. 1985-87 the pulse generators are on the back of the engine in a warmer spot.
