First, I take it you can see the front light get brighter when you turn the swithch to that side. YES?? The front has running lights and back not. Also does the speedo indicator comes on?
Next, I've seen this before..... but..... can you see me scratching my head trying to rememebr where & when.
Check for the following:1) Make sure both front & back lights come on. If not , you might not be drawing enough current to have the flasher heat up and trigger.
2) Check the battery (nice soild 12 - 13V with bike off , 13 to 15V with bike running)
2) Good ground at the light socket. You will need an ohm meter to check this.
3) Good switch operation ( my thought here is a possible dirty switch contact).
