Hi,
Trying to sort out the charging problem on my bike, stripped her down, cleaned all the connectors etc but problem when putting front end back on, both front indicators light at the same time and are a lot dimmer than they should be, back ones work fine. Any one have any idea how to resolve it???
Cheers

Try disconnecting the indies by the push connectors and swapping them for the other Indy push connector.

Cheers for the info, much appreciated. The indie connectors on my bike are just 4 "bullets"
Wiring from both left and Right Indies: 1 Bk n Yellow and 1 Green.
The only connector has 4 wires; 1 Bk n yellow, 1 Green, 1 Blue and 1 Grey. Checked wire continuity and all test good, so might be a relay problem, will need advice on how to check it.

Swapped them one way both front indies are on and flashing simultaneously, the other way front indicators both off.

This. Sounds like classic symptoms of a poor earth connection.

Make sure there is good continuity between the white on black wires and the battery negative.
