    F'it whatever, I'll worry aboot it when I get home. Turn on my heated grips as i got on the freeway. Speedo shoots up 166,184,198,244,333, then goes back to what appears normal. heated grips never come on.

    anyway, found a "spike" splicer floating around loose & found the spot on the license plate light where it was tapped in at. Put it back, light came on, went to work, ALL Good. NOPE! As I started her up, immediately I notice my voltage indicator light

    license plate light went oot, and its not the bulb or fuse. Power coming in at the plug.

    spent over an hour reading through threads using the search feature, & I know I've seen it addressed before. Should I go ahead start a new thread anyway?

    For starters have you checked your connectors from the stator to the rec/reg, when these go bad all sorts of weird things happen, check what voltage the alternator is putting out.It may not be this but it needs checking regardless of your current problems
