The charging light has decided to flicker when engine is idling! appears to be more constant when the lights are off.
I should add that last week I removed a fork leg, and unbolted the headlight, which hang unsupported for a few minutes. Just mentioning this in case a wire may have come loose. I'm unsure if there is anything in the headlight that connects to the charging system.
It may be the case that the idle rpm has dropped slightly, hard to tell, as when idling, the engine doesn't reach the point on the rev counter where it moves, it never has since I've had the bike. at just under 1,000 rpm the light goes out.
When riding home from work last night in the dark, lights were just as bright as normal.
Battery is less than two years old.
Bike has done 34,000 miles.
The next morning I checked the battery voltage, it's 12.7.
Thoughts anyone?
