Malabo ba headlight mo sa idle kesa "dati" na parang kumukurap kurap tulad sa signal light? Sumasabay din ba sa pag kurap yung ilaw sa instrument panel mo? Para bang mahina kuryente ng motor mo?? Ngongo ang busina or minsan hindi responsive when you press the horn button? And always parang drained or hindi fully charged ng battery mo even though its new?? At minsan mahirap i-start? Try using contact cleaners!
Contact cleaners are a very useful tool for motorcycles, it cleans oil, grease, dirt and other foreign materials from precision mechanical to delicate electrical/electronic equipments. Very 
useful ito sa mga electrical terminals ng MC. Dirty, greasy, oily and corrossive electrical terminals contributes to poor conduction of electricity, I usually use contact cleaners on electronic equipments as well as electrical terminals , but have never used it on motorcycles. I have a non-conductive, fast evaporating general purpose contact cleaner and degreaser, it cost around P200 plus sa ACE hardware, the LPS brand is much more expensive, it looks like a can of WD-40, straw included for spraying on crevices and tight spaces. Like I said I've never use one before on my motorcycle not until very recently lang, I was cleaning my MC a few weeks ago, among my maintenance procedure was to clean my sparkplug, I took it out, cleaned the electrodes, filed and grind the outer electrode to make the edges sharp (electrical sparks jumps easily on sharp edges), when I put back my plugs and crank the kick starter... i was shocked, ayaw umandar MC ko!!! waaaahh! wa happen???! even after numerous kicks, ayaw pa rin, I sat for awhile to think, then I saw my hands, dirty and greasy from cleaning my MC, and I thought although I did clean the electrodes, I was holding the order side of the sparkplug with my greasy hands (yung side kung san kinakabit yung plug cap)... so I cleaned my hands and took out the sparkplug once again and saw na greasy/dirty nga yung kabilang electrode na kinakabitan ng plug caps, I cleaned that other electrode, making sure no grease and oil came into contact with it, after which I placed it back in my engine, it took me around 4 kicks to get my engine running (normally 1 kick lang), and when it did started, ang sama ng andar! waaaaaah ulit! Then I recalled, pares pala yun! yung side ng electrode na kinakabitan ng plug cap, and yung mismong "contact" sa loob ng plug cap... being its rather deep, I decided na lang to spray it with contact cleaner to make my job much easier, I sprayed a moderate amount let it dry and placed the plug back, my MC started on the 1st kick, and the engine was running much better...
I was so happy with the result that I removed my all of my fairings and sprayed some contact cleaner on just about any electrical terminals and connectors I could find, and after doing so and placed back all the fairings, I started my MC once again, my lights was much brighter, no more obvious flickering during idle, my horn is much more responsive, and the engine ran much better than before...
Places where I sprayed some contact cleaner
Keep in mind that the number 1 problem with any charging system are bad/poor connections. So before you replace anything or add anything to your electrical system, try using contact cleaner muna... Chances are, your problem will be solve without the need to replace nor add anything... Though I'm not an expert with regards to motorcycle electricity or mechanics, I did solve alot of electrical issues with my friend's MCs using just a can of contact cleaner...

Places where I sprayed some contact cleaner
- Battery Terminals
- R/R connector
- CDI connector
- Fuse terminal
- Ignition coil input terminal (terminal coming from CDI to the Ignition Coil)
- Bulb sockets (headlight, brakelight, signal lights)
- On/Off switches and push buttons
- Other electrical terminals/connectors usually found inside and below the head unit.
- Ground terminals (-)
