    As you have prob guessed my indicators have stopped working, they started by taking ages to come on and now don't come on at all!
    I'm hoping just a fuse but no idea where it is if anyone can help?
    Or any other ideas what to check?

    You just power it with 12V then check continuity with a multimeter of the switched points on the relay. Theres a little diagram on the side. But its easier just to replace.

    The pre 08 models have a two pin relay but they both house them in the nose cone, the 04+ models sit between the headlights so nose cone requires removal.

    The way to test if the relay is the problem is to remove the relay and short/bridge the two pins together on the bikes wiring, with the wiring bridged out turn the ignition on and turn on the indicator switch for the left or right the corresponding indicator lights should light up on the bike but not flash (remember the relay is removed).

    If your lights light up correctly the relay is faulty and should be replaced!

    Make sure all connectors for the wiring harness are reconnected if you had to disconnect then to remove the nose or side fairings before carrying out the test procedure.

    Hope this helps.
