Default 88 Hurricane Electical Gremlin? Help..

Hey guys, so this isn't a huge issue but it has been bugging me since I bought this bike Easter this year.. I have an 88 F1 in which all the lights (Dash, Headlight, Taillight, etc) seem to run at a lower voltage and every once in awhile if hit a bump or even blip the throttle just right it seems everything brightens up for a couple seconds and then dim back down again (not to the point it's unsafe but it sure as heck makes it easier to see when the headlight/cluster is burning brighter at night.. I don't even know where to begin to check.. Battery seems fine and never dies and the bike always starts up fast with no problems.. I did some searching but I'm not sure if it's some kind of regulator problem etc... Any insight would be great! Thanks

Loose connections. Go through your electrical system and put dielectric grease in the connectors.
