During a ride, my after market right side turn signals, hella and emgo? Stayed solid and won’t flash or turn off. However the left stayed working properly. Flashing and turning off when supposed to. Fuses all fine. Aftermarket left hand emgo switch is less than a year installed and when taken apart looked fine no pinched wires. Flasher was also installed less than a year ago and I would assume is fine since left works fine?

I’m lost.

If the indicators/turn signals stay on then it stands to reason that they must have a supply of electricity, which should come only from the handlebar switch. I'd start by looking at the switch again.Has this condition just suddenly appeared or has it come about after some work has been done on the bike.

Well both use the same relay look at switch then look inside indicators take out bulb test cct possibly a short ...if no joy there follow wiring, the joints under rear mudguard can cause this if shorted .... even had a bulb cause this fault

Do both come on at full brightness?

I had this on the V35 just before it’s MOT.
It was a short to earth on the feed to one of the indicators. Worked fine one day broke the next.
