Busa problems

[LeDauz]

ok the other day coming home from work I noticed that every now and then my head light would dime at random, not thinking much of it at the time.

Today I start it up perfectly fine, then within 20 seconds it dies. So I start it again thinking maybe its just a little cold or something so this time i start it and keep it at 4k rpm thinking for about 20 seconds again and it dies out again.

I got no clue on what this is;

Anyone got any ideas or heared of something like this?

Does the engine die or the headlight?

hmmmm.. loose wire perhaps....loose bulb in the holder or faulty bulb itself?

maybe a short or poor ground. have you done any electrical work/mods to the bike recently?

At first it would sound like an electrical problem. Have you done any electrical mods to the bike ? How old is the battery ?

The bike dies, and no eletricail work, though I had to charge the battery the other day because I left the light on

faulty rectifier or you just need to charge the battery properly. i thought to charge up the battery (once the bike is running) was to ride it and get the rpms up around 4500 or so to start recharging... i may be wrong but that is what I read somewhere...
