Indicators

#1 PostAuthor: AlanB » Thu Apr 05, 2018 5:29 pm

Noticed that when the headlight on my Z1000 is on the indicators flash more slowly - Checked battery on multi-meter when removed from bike and shows over 12v to fully charged - Should I check battery with engine running - Any thoughts ? Cheers all. :roll:

Most likely poor wiring - aged wires & connectors!
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Did you check the voltage with the engine running?.

Probably the Regulator/Rectifier, more so if it's the original one/s.

See the sticky at the top of this section on how to test.
