switches could be dirty, it happens on my 85 too. Squirt some wd40 in to clean them out or you can take them off and soak them. once they are working spray in contact cleaner. Thats what I do when mine get sticky, seems to work for my radio and cb. Hopefully thats the problem.

It was the handlebar switches I was talking about cleaning.

I cannot tune mine from any other place but the handlebar switch.
I can use the presets on the radio but they have to be tuned using the handlbar switch. If it is like mine, 85 aspy, if you have had the radio off the bike for any length of time then the memory power will have been lost and the presets I think are lost so it might seem it isnt tuning.

Which model is it and what type radio?

Shadow is only a 500cc not very much power
