A wild guess here, baring anything wrong if you have a R model check the indicator wiring as you may have three wires coming out of the indicator, normally two for earlier models. Three wires connected mean you have the sidelight connected, which as you might guess is in the indicator. This may mean your left is an earlier indicator (crash repair?) with only two wires or someone has not plugged the other in. I think these sidelights are illegel in the uk anyway so most seem to be unplugged or cut off.

Yes, that is it, i remember spotting a loose connector the other day, so i plugged it back in.
Sorted, many thanks.

Brilliant!

Although I have an R model my fronts are of the two wire variety due to someone changing them for cheap LED types, I replaced them when buying the bike but could only find the two wired versions.
