rear indicator - SV650.org

my right hand side rear ind.is dodgy
50% of the time it doesn't work ( i can tell this since the frount one and the console light looks like its on speed) some times giving it a tap will help others not.

I 've had a quick look but can't see any wiring loose

any ideas my top 2 are loose bulb but thought id would have gone completely by now or a better wiring check is needed

Check the wiring at the rear of the bike where the loom runs along the sub frame as this can chafe against the fairing panels. Also remove the left hand riders seat bolt and check the wiring behind this. That bolt is too long and rubs against the wiring behind.

Could also be the contact between base of bulb and holder - if the wiring etc tests okay then drop the bulb out and give the bottom electrode a quick rub with wet/dry, and do same in bulb holder.
