so I went for a ride with some buddies on the weekend and the bike ran fine for 15 or 20 minutes then the dash lights, signal and horn died. The bike kept running but when I stopped it died. I couldn't figure anything out at the side of the road but have since determined it is the ignition lock. sometimes the key turns and everything lights up as normal sometimes not.
I know I will need to pull the mechanism and attempt to clean contacts. I know some guys have cleaned them on the 850s and other models but I wonder if anyone has done them on a 550, specifically an 83 model?
It appears to be sealed type unit and I don't want to bust it open without having half an idea of how to go about it.
Anyone have any experience or ideas of how to go about it?
As always, all help is appreciated.
