So while riding at night I have noticed that my lights (Headlight and instrument light, not sure about taillight but I would assume so) have been dimming out as I'm riding.

It doesn't seem to start up right away when I first start the bike and take off. When I leave work and by the time I get to the Highway to head home at night I can see that the headlight goes from bright and dims out to barely visible then brightens back up. It will stay bright for a minute then dim and brighten back again. It only dims out for maybe 10 seconds then always brightens back up. I noticed the instrument light does it along with the headlight.

It started off doing it maybe once every two minutes, but the last time I rode into work it seemed to be doing it every 45 seconds or so.

The bike runs just fine and has never had any indication of spark loss. It's just annoying to watch while riding, and concerns me something might be wrong.

I am also having this same issue but it also does a few different things. Does your bike also do these things? If so perhaps your having the same issue as I am. How old is your battery?
