There should be a voltage regulator which has the job of keeping the voltage at the right range. Look for a finned box near the computer.

First thing I would check is the run/stop switch. Second make sure it goes in neutral. Third make sure clutch is working before going to a shop, just a few simple thing to check if you haven't already good luck.

This is fairly easy, connect your fuel line to the on off res control aim the bleeder line from back of tank down toured the ground not aimed at engine replaced the two bolts I front and replace two bolts under seat and seat clip if part of that asse

obtain a manual

May have a vapor lock in the fuel line. Rerouting the line may help. If you are in a jam, try putting ice on the fuel lines, I know, it's gonna be tough but it will solve a vapor lock.

If you have a cable it probably needs adjusting. If it is hydraulic clutch then make sure the reservoir on the handlbar by the clutch is full of fluid and you might have air in the line and have to bleed the clutch slave cylinder as well.

use red lock tight and go around 12 ft. lbs thats what I set mine to on my dirt dragger which is an older kz550

apparently a wire is crossed somewhere.. if you think about it it's quite simple... it begins as a single wire of electricity triggered from the turn switch, then down to the plug... if crossed over anywhere it will trigger what it has crossed.. try getting an electrical tester and check all the connections before inserting the new plug..
ex: turn on left signal, use electrical tester to the connections making sure it's only flashing one connection.. if so, you know it's the plug, examine it for any defects at all and also check the compatibility once more with your bike.

Check the starter relay, solenoid and fuses

LED signals often need an extra resister in the circuit to give the flasher can enough load to flash
some have this already in the wiring provided, some need an accessory one

The clutch plates are dragging. This causes the clutch shaft to turn even when the bike is in neutral and the clutch is dis-engaged ( handle pulled in ). When the shift fork moves to engage 1st gear, the bike jumps due to the shaft rotation. When was the last oil change? Dirty oil can cause clutch drag. Also, are you using synthetic lubricants? Some of them can swell the cork on the friction plates and that swelling causes dragging.

Cheap answer try your plugs they may be fouling,

does it idle ok ? were the jets removed and cleaned ? is your plug gap correct ? check on those and get back to me.

Change bulb?

You should ride with high beam in bright daylight anyway (for safety) unless it is exceptionally bright.

If the brushes have worn out then all you will get is as you describe. You will get similar results if there is a bad connection on the starter motor as well. Check the power with a bulb connected with flex.
Changing the brushes is easy. Don't pay a fortune for a new starter!
Hope that helps.

Availability of parts for the old bikes!

off the ignition switch then change the fuse and then switch on, if it doesnt work check your starting circuit cut-off relay
