starting issues, diagnosis, your opinion ?

It would explain some issues I used to have when riding and the bike suddenly stopping without electrical power.
Will need to dig further.

Now that this has come up, I would tend to agree that "something" is going on in that handlebar switch.

The contacts for the starter button inside the switch very often gather rust and corrosion over the years and make a poor connection, so the problem maybe as simple as that.
Its just a case of removing the switch from the bike and sit with it over a large sheet of white paper to see if anything drops out when you take it apart.
Take photos at each stage and give all connections a good clean and thin coat of grease where appropriate.
Should be ok for years after that.
