Electrical question...

My '01 with 33K is excellent and purrs at 1.1 to 1.2K idle. While riding last eve I noticed something. While stopped at a long traffic light, in neutral, no brakes applied, and having my left turn signal on, the neutral light was dimming just enough to be noticed with each flash of the signal. Never noticed this before because it never drew my attention or I just didn't pay attention when it occurred. Worries or no worries? What do ya think? Thanks for any help.

That's normal at idle like that. Your charging system isn't working at rpm's that low... Totally normal.

If the same thing happens while the motor is running above 2000 rpm, you may need to worry. Otherwise its a normal thing.
