There are a couple of symptoms.

My rear (red) light dims when the indicators flash, both with engine running and not.

My heated grips arn't working, but I suspect that it is the fault of the connectors.

I've not not had any problems starting the bike though!

I can't find my multimeter so I can't give any voltage figures, but I did about 20 miles today before my alarm started mucking about.

Thanks in advance!

Joe mentioned that it might be a bad earth. Any thoughts?

I know that on the TL forums they are always raving about adding extra earth to give more power. Not sure about the charging though.

Not the connectors. I polished them and rubbed them with graphite and still nothing.

Ok, the battery has been charged and is fine. But My alarm and grips are still fooked!
