clean your battery cables or change your spark plugs and if this doesnt work: Does it do it above 3500 rpm's?

Yep.Could be a bad ground.Also check your connections in behind the head light and the high/low switch.Knowing that you guys over there have an overly moist enviroment,I'd say corrosion is on a connection some where.

don't know if this got resolved, but it could be a loose filament inside the bulb.  if it's not touching both posts on the inside completely it would have this type of affect.  Maybe pick up a new bulb for a few bucks and check to see if it's just a bad bulb before tearing into everything else that may or may not be bad.
