A while since I last posted, the bike continues to make me smile.

Except for... the ignition switch has taken to needing a jiggle before it turns on and yesterday it switched the bike off at random times and I was forced to madly wiggle the key to get the bike running again. Particularly inconvenient halfway through an overtaking manoeuvre on a steep twisty road!

I know I am guilty of having large key rings jammed with unnecessary junk and suspect it has placed force on the workings of the lock?

Anyone else had similar problems?

Pretty much the same cause, also.
