Default Headlight

Ok so I've been told it's normal for this bike and now I'm hearing it's not don't ride it because it could stop running anytime. When u put it in neutral, pull the clutch in does the headlight dim? Mine does but runs great I have not a single problem with it. As soon as I start going the headlight brightens back up and stays like that until my next stop. If this isn't normal what typically does this?

Normal.

The stator puts out almost no juice at idle and the bike is running on mostly battery. It' even more apparent with led signals as you can see them "pulse" at idle but quickly brighten up with some rpm.

Your clutch lever however should have no bearing at all on the electrical system.

X2. This question comes up every now and then. Search and you can find additional threads.

a slight dimming is normal, even more so if you are pressing the brakes or turn signal. But not an extreme dimming
