So basically my 400 keeps cutting out, it's something electrical as if is just ticking over an I put the full beam on it will cut out, all lights go off then back on after a secound or two. This only happens now and then

And sometimes when I rev the bike with dipped beam the lights become dull, instead of getting brighter if reved. I've check all connections and all look fine.
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Check the main live wire that runs through the loom.

I was having the same probs, pulled the loom off, and fixed a few corroded wires.

Job done!

Can't remember where exactly, but a good few of the older Kwaks have a thin earthing wire from the loom to the battery. This can fracture and give the symptoms you have. The wire comes from the loom near the battery is all I can remember..
