Check that all wiring connections are clean, dry and tight from the stator all the way to the head light and dimmer switch. The ground should be under the left foot well below the seconday clutch attached to the voltage regulator mounting bolt. 540's head lights are not bright at idle speed see the Article on LED bulbs.
