Problem: The front right turn signal doesn't come on, but the rear one does. It flashes rapidly. The left side signals work correctly. Bulbs are not burned.
Would it be the indicator relay that’s out or something else? Has anyone else had this issue?

If you are sure that the front bulb is OK then.......
Pull the headlight out of it's bucket and re-seat the appropriate connectors in there. Maybe apply some di-electric grease to the pins too.
You're losing either the positive or the ground to the front bulb. That's why the back one blinks too fast.
The flasher is common to both sides so, if the left side blinks OK it's not the flasher.
Good luck.

Did you do some work recently?
That symptom is indicative of a blown bulb or bad/non-existet connection for one side of the lights.
Is it all stock? Are you using LEDs? A Kisan signal minder? Anything else that might help us help you.
BTW...you might want to pull the bulb and reseat it...make sure its in there correctly.

The most common reason for this is a bad bulb. Swap sides and see if the problem follows the bulb.
Or, just replace the bulb and see what happens. You'll need one someday anywho.....

Mine did that. I jiggled the wire and it fixed it. Did it a time or two after that, jiggling wire where it went into signal fixed it. Have since changed signals.

Mine did the same , when the previous owner had the bike shipped they crushed the wiring when they loosened the mirror to turn them in for shipping i used to jiggle it to make it work until i got around to fixing it permanent
worth a check

And mine did that as well... broken wire or something between housing and light so had to jiggle to get to work... Have since removed and got aftermarket lights and relocated to forks last week...

Fixed it. I straightened out the wiring outside of the signal housing and disconnected the wiring at the connector and reconnected it. After that it worked. It must have been a bad connection. Thanks for all of the replies.
