I noticed the other night on the ride home that my headlights and instrument panel were dimming while under constant throttle. Even when on the gas, seemed to dim in and out. No lack in power. Everything seemed to work well.

Any thoughts to problem? Is there any?

I don't want to crap out on the road somewhere next to one of those broke down Harley's. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Check the plug in the tail section that goes to the generator. Mine was burnt up . It started with flickering lights then just got wose.

make sure the battery is fully charged and the cables arent damaged...check that your charging system is actually doing its job..it sounds to me as if your battery is just low..was it sitting around for a while???throw a charge to it and see what happens
