A couple of months ago the eps light would come on once in a while and I would loose my power steering for several seconds. The light would go out and it would run fine for a week or more. Now the light flashes all the time while driving and the steering is tight. Put it in N and wait a few seconds the light stops blinking and the steering is fine. Read a bunch of post on here about voltage drop and my battery is 5 years old but is showing 12.5 volts. 2019 700.

12.5v while running is not good

hi - really need to check while running - ideally have your battery load tested as well.

go over all the 12vdc power connections at battery\grounds, etc. - just start with the basics

5 year old motorcycle battery...that alone tells me it needs replacement.

that looks good

Did u have battery load tested?

Also and probably most important - Check and clean all grounds - endless threads on this - use search bar.
