Well after reading all of the above I had a similar thing with my Varadero , it would get brighter when on the throttle . It turned out I had a dodgy Rectifier , and to add insult to injury it was knackering the battery . I managed to remove the Rectifier (had a Ducati logo on it as well despite being a Honda bike) and replaced it with another one sourced from CJ Balls at the right price . Battery went on a maximiser for a day and it sorted the problem out for me . My old Rectifier started to smell like fish as well for some reason . Not saying this is your problem but could also be a nod in the right direction .
