Default Wierd electrical problem today...

On my way home from work today, I noticed that both my high beam indicator and neutral indicator lights were on. They weren't on when I first started the bike. When I got home, I turned the bike off and came back about 20 minutes later to run to the store. I turned the bike on, and the lights were off. While riding, I noticed they came back on again. By the time I got back home, they were off again.

My bike was out in the rain today. It rained for about a half hour while I was at work.

Electrical gremlins REALLY piss me off. At least it's under warranty...

Not sure if it's at all related, but my breaker switch came loose last week. Eventually, it shut down my whole computer, but at first it was just intermittent. I mention it bc it didn't get picked up in the fault codes.

New problem... Yesterday I set out for a 300 mile jaunt, and noticed that my high beam and neutral lights were NOT lit. I thought this was good until I put the bike in neutral, and the neutral light did NOT light up...

I really hate electrical gremlins!!!!
