Reg/rec probably. Check the voltage at the battery-should be 13.5v at tickover, and around 14.5v at 5000rpm.

Do the lights get brighter when the front brake is applied (ie the brake light comes on)? Mine had this issue, but a new reg/rec sorted it. And buy a genuine Suzuki one (Second hand is ok) rather than a cheap Chinese copy.

Check all the wiring first, and I would run a seperate earth from the reg/rec, and not rely on the earth within the loom.
