Low Charge
When I have my driving lights on and am sitting at idle there isn't enough power to run signal lights.
Flick off the driving lights and the needle moves up and the signals work fine.
At speed and making a turn there isn't a problem. If the engine is runnung at above idle rpm's they work.
Is there a simple fix?

RE: Low Charge
First, check your battery (Load Test).
IF, and that is a big IF, it pans out and battery is in spec, check your ground strap
Then, check your Stator output (AC Volts), and Regulator output (DC Volts)......
