My tail light on Li150 has started to flicker at high revs. Normal tickover is ok with nice bright light, however, when I start to rev it, it starts to flicker. Checked bulb connections and spring leaves connections underneath, checked earthing wire has good earth, checked connections to rectifier, all seem ok. :?

Any thoughts, suggestions

Try a new bulb, it sounds like that one is about to blow ;)

I think as Al says, this Might be the cause if you cant find any fault at the back light unit... Normally (if your colour coding on the wiring is correct) its fed from the black wire from the Ignition switch which joins with two black wires at the head light connector block One wire should be the Speedo bulb and the other is the feed to the back light...
