my new 77 gs400...electrical problem???

[NewGSguy400]

hey guys...new bike owner here...my first is a gs400xb, i rode it for about 15 minutes today problem free. After i turned it off completely, i came back 10 minutes later and the lights did not turn on when i turned the key, therefore the bike did not start. We tested the battery and fuse and both were good. After a few minutes of fiddlin and luck the light turned on when i turned the key. Then after riding about three minutes down the road it died right there. Same problem...had to push it home...anybody have any advice on how to diagnose or fix this problem? Thank you

Could be a dodgy connection in the back of the ignition tumbler chaps.
