Sounds like a Voltage Problem. What bike are we talking about?
put a volt meter on the battery and run the bike. anything over 15v is a problem.

reflector gone bad

Postby DAVID THOMPSON » Fri Nov 28, 2003 12:29 pm

if the reflector is going bad
it may be silver plated try a silver polish on it

if it is plastic the heat may be killing it try an other new one
and put a 10 mm hole at the top and bottom to get some air flow
get the heat out of it protect the holes so you dont get water
inside when it rains :D

or try an after market one made of real metal
