Right indicator just stopped working

My right indicator just stopped working. It's not a bulb I've checked. They're not coming on at all when I press the right switch. Left is fine and when I press both for hazards only the left works and that is flashing fine. All other electrics working perfectlly.

Any ideas on where to start?

Hi John, it sound like you got a missing connection. I would start by having a look/feel under the rear mudguard to see if there are any loose/frayed/broken wires there. That's a favourite place for things to go wrong.

my sporty has a tendency to rub the wire on the right hand side.

Check that your wires are hooked up out the way.

If both front and rear right side not working, start at switch normally if one indicator is faulty the other will just glow.

Does it flash below the speedo ?

Check the plugs under the tank.

Turn the steering left to right. Cables can get tight around there.

Have you had the new bars fitted.

Pop Round if you are stuck.

Check for power at the switch. Did I get from the previous post that you may have installed new bars? Maybe a pinched wire?

Bars not changed Phil, only considering changing them.
I'll check power to switch as you suggest.

Thanks
