    Agree with fatboy
    Had the exact same issue on my old gixxer
    Halfords electrical cleaner, blast it in and around the indicator switch opening and the cracks of the light switches, loads of it, wait 5 mins and repeat. Should sort it out.

    EDIT: forgot to add, wiggle all the switches whilst the juice is in there.

    I've had the same problem with my '18. Just open remove the switchgear from the bars. There us enough room to get in there and clean with a cotton bud and some white spirit. Sorted mine out.
