Anyone else have this issue? I dont think its just the battery because it seems to be holding a charge fine when charged with an external source.
No mods to the bike as of yet except for the digital cluster.
Also on a side note I have realized recently that my right blinker is acting funny... will blink at a normal brightness and pace then get very dim and blink fast. Not sure if this was caused by the cluster but I don't think so. When I had the battery charging through jumper cables attached to my girlfriends car the blinker was working fine, blinking brightly at the correct rate.

I am a long way from an expert on electrical issues, but I would suspect the voltage regulator first off. The turn signal issue that you reported is usually caused by low voltage.
