Moderator Cynic Posted April 16, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 16, 2014 Dont suppose you checked your battery recently. Fair bet its flat or getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridercooke Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Mine dips really bad also and my battery is reading 11.7 volts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted April 28, 2014 Moderator Share Posted April 28, 2014 So recharge the battery and check the charging output as well. A good battery will show 12 to 13v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ridercooke Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Ahh I see I just used to put it down to there not being much charge to run the lights when the bikes not running high rpm. Like all my mopeds (rev and gos) they all did the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Anything at or below 12v on a 12v battery is too low, as Cynic says a charged battery will show around 12.5 minimum, more while being charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkersfinest Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Do the headlights run direct off the batterie? They only work when the bikes running and get brighter when you rev.. I no the newer ones are direct to the bat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
