Spade terminals are not the nicest of connectors.
Quite often just pulling them off and re-fitting them will improve the connection.
I usually make sure that they are a tight fit and carefully bend the folds a little to make the connection tighter. Go to Maplin (or somewhere like it) and get some good quality switch cleaner (I can get it if you have any trouble) and go through the bikes connections unplugging, checking tightness and then spraying with the switch cleaner before re-connecting.
A little tip for all you folks out there with half decent hi-fi's. Play the first part of a record, cd etc (Not mp3 files as they are junk)...Then turn off the system and one by one remove and replace all mains plugs to the system. Refit and remove again. Now listen to the same bit of music again!
If you are not 'deaf' through not wearing ear plugs on ride outs ( ) then tell me the difference that you can hear.
Sounds a bit 'off topic' but it's not, because it applies to any electrical connection...bikes included!
