Default Hazard warning lights not working.

Hi all, have my MOT tomorrow, went out to check lights, tread depths etc earlier and noticed that when I switch on my hazards only the LH indicators flash! All work ok under normal indicating!
Can anyone give me an idea of what to check in a hope that I can get it working before it goes to the garage in the morning?

Thanks

with the hazards on, flick the RH indicator on and see if this makes them light up. May just be a dirty contact in the switch.

Are they even tested in the MOT?

I don't believe they are compulsory on a bike, however they still come under the category of-if the switch is fitted, they must work (same as front fog lights)

I had this a while back and all it took was cleaning out with electrical contact cleaner. A simple fix on my bike that has not played up again since, so give it a try on your bike.

Reading some mot stuff online when I found my pass switch was not working i read that for cars it is tested for bikes I can not say.

It all depends on the tester these days...
