88 k 75s strange behavior

[Larmol7]

My 88 k75s.  First it woul start, then die,  push the starter button again and nothing
Happens, turn the key off and try to starts ok.  Later as I'm riding, the engine shuts off
And I coast to a stop, the instrument lights come back on and am able to start.  A couple of miles later
The same thing.  I'm suspecting a short somewhere.  I don't want this to be another brick in the wall..

Thanks, Larry,  Plano, Tx

Clean your ignition switch and get back to us.

...and clean the connection between the battery and the transmission.  I had similar issues and doing both cleared it right up.
