Rik, 

I have the same symptoms on my 85 1100 Shadow, which I keep at my moms in Arizona. It developed this problem in March of 2007, I have since been out there 3 timesand not had use of it, the shop working on it cant seem to get it fixed. Have replaced crank and cam pulse sensors, both CDI boxes, and fuel cutoff relay. Only one of the sensors was a new part, as they are not made anymore. Dunno what to do, but you have given me a new avenue to think about...

Thanks,

john
