Riding with my lights on for about 20 mins the lights go dim and all the dash is losing power intill and rev it up to about 3000rpm and everything powers up, but when I turn my lights off the battery charges up and there just enough to get her going again.
Would you say there charging fault or the battery is on it's way out?
Also today the bike fan kicked in.
You ride below 3000 rpm?!? I cruise at around 6000/7000 - drop a gear!!
If you ride like that a lot, no wonder your battery is going flat - open it up and give it a good blast from time to time! That will also clean out the cobwebs in the cylinders.
Riding that slowly is asking for fouled plugs to boot....
FOCCING REV IT! :lol :lol

That is quite spirited riding
If I'm having a bit of fun, then sure. But just cruising around I'm usually hovering around the 4k mark

On motorways, doing 70 on the restricted, the bike sits at about 6000 revs. "Spirited riding" for me is 3rd gear and 10000revs (or more) :lol :lol
