Indicators / electrics problem

[bedrock]

Hi

Wonder if anyone can help.

When I put either of my indicators on, both sides come on at the same time. Not at full strength, but a bit dim.

Also at this time the full beam headlight flashes (also dim).

This is intermittant. it will be ok for a while then, often when leaning the bike over a bit, will kick in again.

Any ideas?

bike is K3, no real mods.
Have checked fuses and all ok.

Cheers muchly.

At a guess, I'd suspect you either have a dodgy earth somewhere, or and this is more likely IMHO, you have a wire somewhere that has rubbed on the frame or subframe and worn the outer casing through and the bare metal is earthing / shorting out on the frame.

Its quite common for this kind of thing to happen on the rear subframe so have look around in there and see if you can trace the wires and find out whats going on.

Hope thats useful, welcome to the forum.
