Subject: Re: Electrical problems, any ideas anyone?
Hi George!
Could it be that your dynamo has a short circuit (e.g. the isolation is
gone at some parts)? This would lead to exactely the mentioned effect. When
oil gets hot, it changes its electrical resistance. I had to experience
something like this some years ago with another bike. Took the dynamo off,
cleaned it and put a new isolation (isolation spray, electronic shops) -
that was it.
Good luck!
Tell us about the rest of the story.
