Brakes/Electrical

[Dave Price]

Has anybody noticed that when either of the brakes are applied, the headlight dims slightly, no matter what the revs are.
I've put it down to the current drain of the servo, and although it doesn't bother me too much, I'd of thought we'd of left this sort of thing back in the 60s with Lucas electrics.
If its just my bike I'll have a word with the dealer, albeit, I've not had any charging issues or flat batteries.

Perfectly normal.

Cheers.

Get this on my bike as well. Difficult to know what it is, could be poor wiring design, bad regulator design or a bit of both. Difficult to tell without a complete wiring diagram (which I'm working on trying to get)

Yep, noticed it on my 1200gs as well, and as you said seems to slightyl dim regardless of revs.
