Hiya,
I may have posted about this before (ages ago) so if so sorry Very Happy
Anyway, I hava an '89 124cc TZR and I seem to have a problem with the electrics. If I have the headlight on, it gets dimmer and dimmer and the other lights fade - idiot lights dim and the indicators fade and eventually stick on. Headlight off, and power returns.
Would suggest I suppose that the headlight is drawing too much power? Or could it be something else?
Cheers Very Happy

Knackered battery and/or charging system.

Batteries make electrical energy from a chemical reaction. This why if you leave a supposedly flat, yet healthy battery for 20 minutes it regains some charge.

Have a skim through some of my recent threads in workshop, I've given the run down of how to test the battery and charging circuit a couple of times in the last month or so.

You could always check the level in the battery as well while your poking around.

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 20 years, 116 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
