Coming home tonight my headlights started to flicker. Really bad at some points and steady for a bit. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? It only happens when the engine is running. TIA

I will get one. Am I attaching it to the battery? Tell me the process. Thanks

Let's start with checking the voltage output of the alternator. Basically what the battery volts are ignition on bike off and running on DC volts.
Next check the AC frequency of the rectifier.
This is probably what's wrong
Imo go watch some YouTube videos on how to test and diagnose a faulty rectifier and alternator.

I had a mechanic do the testing. He tested the battery and the charging system. Everything was within normal parameters. I'm at a loss. Crazy thing to is that the issue wouldn't happen while I was there. The lights stayed normal

As a follow up - the battery died and the trickle charger indicated that there was an issue with the battery. I put in a new battery and that seems to have been the root of all the light issues.
