Thanks, Toby. I unplugged the wires from the switch and pluged the lighting wires directly together The same thing happened again. Any thoughts on what to try next? Check regulator operation, look in the book for that one. If that is not the problem measure the ac voltage from the yellow wire to ground using an analog voltmeter on a ac scale and watch for the same results as the lights flickering but the needle bouncing around.
If that happens problem will exist in the stator winding or the wiring between the stator and where you have connected your meter. Pull the flywheel and look for a damaged wire in the coil.
Post by TWMOODY » am Mar 01 The reason I didn't tell you to check grounds was that the lighting system uses separate grounds for front and rear but your problem is affecting both lights at the same time so the ground side of the picture is not your problem. As stated before use an " Analog voltmeter " cheap, bucks quality made in china type meter to check that voltage. You need to be able to see the needle sweep back and forth if there is a problem and the digital will not show you that.

I found the problem If the battery is failing, flickering, or dimming headlights may be the result. If your battery is causing your headlights to flicker, it may be time to purchase a new one.
A car battery typically lasts three to five years. However, frequent short trips, leaving your car parked for long periods, driving a vehicle that has many aftermarket electrical accessories, or living in a very hot or very cold climate can decrease the lifespan of a battery. Regardless of if your battery is to blame, it's best not to ignore flickering or dimming headlights. For one thing, flickering headlights may jeopardize your safety on the road, as this issue may make your car less visible to other vehicles.
This could result in flickering, dimming, or inoperative headlights, as the headlights depend on power from the vehicle's battery. When the alternator is unable to charge the battery, the vehicle's electrical system will quickly drain the battery. If you find yourself in this scenario, be sure to get your alternator checked by a qualified technician and see whether it needs to be fixed or replaced.
If the bulbs or lamps of your headlights are old or damaged, it can cause the headlights to flicker. Fortunately, this can be a relatively quick fix. Bring your vehicle into your local Tires Plus , and one of our technicians can replace the old or damaged bulbs or lamps. When the headlights flicker, it could mean that there is a loose connection or the fuse may not be properly seated.
Loose connection and fuse issues can be tricky to find, so it's best to bring your vehicle into your nearest Tires Plus to properly diagnose your electrical system issues. Sometimes, a headlight may start flickering due to physical damage to headlight components. The motorcyclist has the option to turn this on or off on the modulator throughout the day.
A modulator can also be installed in the electrical wiring of the brake lights. Motorcycle brake lights are much smaller compared to car brake lights, so it can sometimes be difficult for vehicles that are behind the motorcycle to see that the motorcycle brakes are being applied. The flashing will ensure the driver behind knows that the rider is slowing down.
There are some motorcycles out there that have flashing lights for other reasons outside having a modulator installed. United States law recognizes how susceptible motorcyclists are and encourage bikers to use subtle but effective ways to get them more noticed on the road.
There are still laws that need to be heeded if a motorcyclist is going to install a modulator on their motorcycle. The headlights of the motorcycle need to be positioned in a way that is somewhat facing down and not gazing straight at the oncoming traffic. Flashing lights are also not permitted during the night.
Government approved modulators for motorcycle headlights will already have a sensor on them that will turn off the flashing when it starts getting dark. In this same study, it concluded that using a detectable headlamp is highly effective with preventing motorcycle accidents.
In addition, the study also concluded that increased contrast in conspicuity is a simple countermeasure for motorcycle accidents. Had some of those cars seen flashing headlights, perhaps the accident would have been prevented.
