Lights flashes when idling
The “problem” has appeared lately. Mostly right after I have started my bike, an AT, the headlight and light in the instrument panel flashes. I have never seen this much flashing before, so I wonder what could be wrong. Maybe the battery needs to be changed? Has anybody any experience with this and may know of a solution? For all I know, it could be nothing to worry about at all.

Light flashing
hey there
check if the battery connectors are tight. Had they same problem when the + connector was loose. If that is not they case, maybe u wanna check the voltage on battery while the engine is on. should be not less 13.5 and not higher that 14,8 Volts.
