Bike stalls at idle when headlight on (PMA w/capacitor)
When I'm riding the bike runs very well whether the headlight is on or off but when its on and I stop at a light, at idle I can hear the motor stumbling and eventually it stalls. Then I switch the headlight off, and it fires right up. I've got a 50,000ul capacitor, its working fine as far as I can tell because when I shut the bike off, a few things stay powered up for a few seconds. I tried one of those tiny batteries people around here have been using and that worked until I guess my headlight drained the battery of juice and then the same thing happened. Any suggestions? Could I just be running a very power hungry (aftermarket) headlight?
