Thanks for the help gents!.. Sorry to hear about the accident
The bike is new to me this month. I can't say I observed any dimming but it has been hard starting from the beginning. It might be they were always dim/slow. I found the headlight dim but had no frame of reference. My blinker indicator has been working intermittently but I hadn't started to diagnose that yet...
I don't have a tach so I did my best to get the test numbers you asked for.
Here is what I tried
Before I started bike: 12.7
After start while idle: high 13
Rev half way : mid 13
Idle after that: climbs over 14
Turn off: back to high 12
I'm going to take these few days for some maintenance and pull and clean carb tonight.
I figured I would have to do some repairs this spring so im looking forward to having a bullet proof smooth running commuter!
