Default Right side indicators not working - Curvy.

Hi all

LH working OK and everything out for RH rules out a few things.

I'd look at the switch first. Open up the switch housing and clean/inspect the contacts. If that doesn't sort it check for a break in the wiring for the RH indies from the switch to the loom - light green wire I think.

Yeah as Tam says, it might be worth turning the bike on without starting the engine and listening for the flasher relay, if (as I suspect) you don't hear it on the righthand side, but do on the left; then the problem is between the switch and the relay.

Cheers Mark.

Ok...so I've stripped the switch and the power is leaving the back side normally.

This would suggest to me either a faulty indicator/flasher unit or a broken/corroded wire.....grrrr

Can anyon now tell me how to get the front seat off so that I can get to the battery/flasher unit area please?

Many thanks again

Derek

As above. There should also be a little plastic fairing clip on the underside at the rear of each of the side panels. Push in the centre and the clip can be removed.
