replaced the regulator for the 3rd time now and the neweish one (sourced from 1200rc) is a good one.
The battery light flickering has now moved to idle (moved from 4000rpm plus).
it flickers only at idle so im thinking my idle at 700rpm is too low as if i idle at 900-1000rpm its fine, or something else.
The headlights do dim at idle but at 900-1000rpm they brighten up.

Any ideas people? Im thinking to just raise the idle speed.

Looks like the ute coming to the cruise again.
