    I can confirm this. We had problems with HIDs and grips controllers.

    The earlier controllers were very sensitive to interference. Mind you, HIDs have an ignition voltage in the order of 23KV and operate at a few hundred Hz on what seems to be a square wave signal - meaning the amount of energy around them is quite large. Still, considering the grips regulator is meant to operate on a petrol engine with sparkplugs you would think it would be protected better.

    Hmmm... that's not related to your charging problems, is it?
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
