Double speed left indicator

I noticed this morning that when I indicate left it is double speed. The right indicator is working fine. I can get this looked at my first service in three weeks time, but is there anything I can spray WD40 on in the meantime?

Sounds like a blown indicator bulb!

Hi Tom, you're right. Before riding home tonight I checked the indicators and the rear one wasn't working. I tried re-seating it when I got in tonight, but it still wouldn't work, so out with the needle nose pliers to try and prise it out. Just as the glass cracked, it started working.

So now I need a new bulb.
Are
these ok? They are 23W, not 21W. My limited knowledge of electrics makes me think that it's 12V so it's ok, but it will just be slighty brighter than the other one.

Rear near side? Happened to me also - you might need a stock in, although once you've got one in properly it might be sorted.
If your using water dispersent (EVquru hates WD40...) use it liberally on the head / dip light switch. That's a known weak point!
The headlight is good at night, although not quite as good as the 9.5,
Good riding!
