New Regulator = Lights are Cured !

[Ed_in_Az]

I installed a new voltage regulator and it cured my problem with the lights dimming. Lights are brighter overall too.

what year Gs you got? I hope this isn't an issue with the later GS's . I had a 1978 GS550 that had the same problem and burned out the stator before i could get it diagnosed properly and get parts.
Glad to hear you got it fixed.

I've got a 2000 model.

When you say dimming, do you mean the slight dim of the headlight when you're at idle and maybe hitting the brake?  I notice my headlight gets brighter off idle but I figured it was normal  :dunno:

I had the same issue after I had to jump the bike.  I dont think our bikes like to be jumped.  Mine is a 1990

Nah, this was dim...bright...dim. Anytime it wanted. Really not cool at night. Also the turn signals would go from normal(slow) to hyper depending on RPM. Lights are bright now and turn signals are normal(slow) regardless of RPM.
