    Indicator trouble

    Im riding a CBR250r (so cant wait to upgrade...... waiting on the acc decision!) My turn right indicator is fine but when i go to use my right cator its like it takes a while to warm up before turning over. It will eventually flash and correctly but it takes from 4seconds on a good day to a minute on a bad day to start flashing. Fuse is good blubs are good wiring is all connected tight, they both flash fine but like i said the turn left takes a while to get going. Anyone have a idea as to what is wrong?
    Cheers

    Spray some contact cleaner into the thumb switch and move it side to side again and again to make sure that all the connections in there are clean and moving freely. Could do the trick.

    More likely the flasher unit is buggered. An auto-elec should be able to confirm in a few minutes. No biggie to replace.

    Check all bulbs are the same wattage.

    Dangerous has hit nail on the head....measure resistance of each bulb with digital multi-meter, if fine double check ALL bulb to contact connections, if Ok then take one bulb out, should flash fast, if it doesnt start swapping bulbs around. Process of elimination. Very doubtful it is a flasher unit. If ure bike has a hazard flasher, if it is ok then ind flasher is fine.
