Am scratching my head on this a bit so would appreciate advice if it's happened before. Possibly not so new but now I am riding in the dark a lot more, I've noticed it.

Once I've been riding for more than about 5-10mins, the headlight starts flickering, including the lights in the clocks. If I pull the front brake, then the flickering stops - I'm pretty sure that is a consistent response. It smacks to me of a grotty connection e.g. earth, but if someone has had this before it could save me a lot of time! I tried a search but didn't come up with an answer (I don't think).

Thanks a lot
