banditV11 Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks for the feedback. Good eye Kiwi Roy, it is an aftermarket one. Not sure which. I picked up the bike as is - I feel like Inspector Clouseau trying to untangle the history of the electrical system... UPDATE: Confirmed the battery is grounded as well as the Voltage Reg. I've also replaced the front signal bulbs with LED versions (now my entire brake/turn light system is LED). When I picked up the bike only the rear as LED and the front was original. Mixing LED and incandescent is problematic - likely from varied power draw but I'm not really an electrical expert. I've noticed something interesting about the turn signals and there may be a connection to my battery indicator. I got the following behaviour: - Motor Off, Power On: Turn signals flash and appropriate frequency - Motor Idle, Power On: Turn signal flash frequency seem slightly increased and pattern slightly erratic - 3000 RPM: Turn signal frequency is very high - they almost appear to be ON rather than flashing NOTE: The headlight stays perfectly lit during all this. Can anyone point me in the right direction in diagnosing this? Is this signs of a faulty voltage regulator? Could it be a relay or bad 12V resistor (there's one installed under the seat - I assume its for the rear LED lights)? -Max
