Hi, You do not mention the battery and it makes me wonder if that could be the problem and your electronics are trying to cope with an ailing battery. Just a thought. wish you well Take care Alan.

could be the battery i was told by the guy i got the bike off he put a new battery on just before i had it

ive put a muilti meter on battery when bike is running its reads 11.79ish so its not chargeing so i can rule out battery

Could be a lot of things. Bad carbon brushes on the alternator. Incorrect wiring or bad connection anywhere. Bad rotor, stator, rectifier or regulator. If you are handy with a multimeter it shouldn't be a huge job to get to the bottom of it.

all sorted now just a bad conection at the fuse
