I was sitting in traffic the other day behind a truck and noticed that my head light and blinker's dim when I have my turn signal on. Is there anything I should be worried about? Or is this something completely normal?

It depends on how much they dim. It is normal to see some very slight dimming but it probably never hurts to check your battery connections to make sure they're secure also check any ground lugs attached to the chassis. If you give a little throttle 2000+ RPM is the dimming less?

I went back out for another ride tonight an notice that once above 4,000 rpm I did it less. But I would still dim slightly. As at as the idle goes the bike would idle at 1200 or so. I just recently installed an exhaust. So, now it seems to idle between 900 an 1000.
