Is it terribly bad that my lights are dimmer at tickover than when I bring the revs up a bit?
Bike is '99 XV250 if it matters.
Wondering if this could point to a bit of an electrical problem which might explain the dead battery I had to replace last year (though I think that was really due to the uninsulated fuse holder on the battery wiring) and I've just had to replace the tail light bulb as it had blown. Probably just coincidence right?
Also probably coincidence, I've noticed that my horn is fecked. Sound is really quiet and muffled. I reckon corrosion has gotten in to the mechanism so figure replacement is the best bet.
