Well I seem to have one of them there electrical bugs, and I aint too impressed.
First off, my indicator has been acting up. Normally my two front indicators sit there dimmed but in the last couple days my left one turns off after having indicated to the left (I can turn it back on by nudging the button to the right). That didn't really bother me and I thought nothing further of it.
Until today.
Fired up the bike this morning and it started just like it would any other time, get into uni and notice that my headlight was out.
I just thought it was the bulb, but when I came back and tried to fire it up again it was having some problems catching. When it did start up I noticed that my headlight was working again, only to have it go out 10 seconds later.
I took it to a bike shop for an opinion and they reckon it could be the rectifier. Just wondering if there was an electron guru round these parts who could tell me what it most likely is.
