Default headlights flickering

Took my g16 out for the first time this weekend. Noticed the headlight flicker a lot. Their connected to the battery. Is this normal?

I have a digital volt meter on mine the battery shows 12.60 volts when the motor is off when it is running & the generator is charging the battery it shows 15.84v im sure that's why they are dimmer when coasting down hill. mine don't flicker at all when the motor is running just when it turns on & off

Try checking all your grounds. If all are clean and tight, you may have a faulty voltage regulator. It wouldn't hurt to check the connections on it and the generator also.

Its a cheap charging circuit. Its Not designed for extra loads or lights. The flicker is the regulator pulse associated with an on-off charging. You can see this using an analog meter scale.
