The (rather complicated) flasher relay is under the left side cowl, towards the back, and the connector is placed just so it can collect dirt and moisture.
The usual culprit is the main permanent battery feed to it (blue wire at end) getting corroded, and the pin breaking off. Luckily the unused pin above it is connected to the other one inside, so cutting the side of the connector off and soldering the blue wire to the spare pin sorts it. Then re-position the relay so it doesn't get crud on it. |

They are both from the same fuse - but so are other things, so I doubt it's that. That 'permanent battery +ve' feed that goes to both may be disrupted somewhere else - but check that pin on the flasher relay first.

Thanks I think I have it sorted at least temporarily. It was the blue wire.put a tiny hole in side of relay and threaded wire through.just wound around pin as bit too fiddly to solder.ran to battery.not much room at back of bike to put relay anywhere else, may put some silicon around top of connection.

Just wrapping clingfilm around it will help enormously.
Well done getting that wire connected - it is rather fiddly, isn't it. |
