Intermitent ignition failure BMW r80
Guys ...this problem is caused by a faulty Bosch ignition coil (gray type). Replace both the Ignition control unit which is linked to this type of ignition coil (buy Transpo BM 300 - cheapest pattern type) & the ignition coil itself with a newer type 1990's model (red outlet points to spark leads.) & the problem will disappear. This is a known problem caused by hairline cracks in the gray casing. These cracks cause intermittent electrical disconnects when hot/wet - MICHAEL - DUBLIN - IRELAND

Bike sat under tarp for
Disc brakes???
If yes, you probably hav a frozen caliper. These are re-buildable. I have had good luck by removing the piston, cleaning up the piston and the bore, and lube the piston up and re-install with no parts. But the procedure requires an experienced set of hands.

Front brakes are locked
if the pads are stuck its down to the brake cylinders that are sezed up pull out the pads and clean the brake cylinders untill you can push them in by hand, pumping the clinders out a little first will help get to the dirty parts be cearfull not to scratch the pistons when your cleaning them and use some coper grees on the back of the pads when you refit them use WD 40 on the drake cylinders to free them off after cleaning them off

I have a 1978 R80/7
it could be that you have a vacuum leak between the cylinder and the carb that is leaning out your fuel, check the connection between the the two. to confirm that there is a vacuum leak spray some brake cleaner or any flammable gas on the connection between the two and if the revs go up, you found the problem... hope that helps
