It's anew bgm stator 120 watt

Clean the spring contacts in the bulb holder and bend slightly if needed, check everything is pugged in including the earth wire.

As above, plus change the rear light and speedo bulbs for LED ones. They won't draw as much power as standard bulbs. You want as much power as poss going to the main bulb. The bgm rear LED boards are very good, or suitable LED bulbs can be sourced from eBay for very little money.
