Thank you Frakenduck for the link showing step by step instructions on how to disassemble the ignition switch.
One note is that reassembly, although not shown, is done by putting the brass pieces into the white plastic insert.
So I carefully took it apart and the inside was actually pretty much clean. I took a pencil eraser to all the contacts and then put it back together. I then realized I forgot to lube the contacts so I took it apart again. I sprayed a light amount of silicone lube inside and put it back together again.
As a safety precaution, I checked it with my meter before trying it on the actual bike. My confidence of this solving the problem was actually quite low as the switch was so clean to begin with. Once installed though the bike now starts everytime!
Thank all of you for your help and support!
Now off to the next step remove and clean oil pan and check pick up tube.
