Most of the time the indicators on my '79 GS400 work fine, however sometimes the front left bulb doesn't work and so (I guess the bulbs create resistance?) the flasher doesn't work, it's just stays on solid. The bulb is ok and I put a multimetre over the contacts and it showed it working too. Quite odd. Sometimes if I just cancel the indicators and then try again it works. Any ideas?

Try a new bulb- sometimes the filament gets "flaky" and conducts at random times.1981 gs650L

If that will not work check the grounds.

Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.Comment

not exactly: two bulbs draw more current through the turn signal relay.(I guess the bulbs create resistance?)
Correct me someone if I am wrong, because I haven't checked these internally, but I EXPECT these are the old fashioned device where there's a bimetal strip in there, gets hot with the current flow and bends "OFF" the contact. After awhile it cools and pops back on. The tick,tick,tick is the thing bending, just like those little clickerfrogs some of us might remember...
So a bulb not passing full current means there's not enough juice to heat the relay and a signal stays on.Comment
