got a relay to sort out the flash speed on my indicators, nomatter which way i indicate they both come on, flash bright with no lights on, a little dimmer with sidelights on and dash light very feint and main beam, dash light barely visible, fronts barely light up and rear stay on very dim and get slightly brighter?

ANY ideas at all on what needs to be done or should i take it to the garage?

Sounds like an earth problem - check the bulbs, check the wiring and do it methodically, one at a time...

how should i be testing the wiring? a wire from a good earth to the earth on the blinkies?

is this a problem that has just happened or have you had the fairings off?
