Can someone solve a tricky indicator problem please?

I have a motorcycle where the right indicators flash faster than the left! I though at first there was a bulb gone but that's not the case. They are normal bulbs, not LEDs.

Any ideas my friends?

Thank you for any replies.

    swap the bulbs from left to righ, see if its a bulb causing it

    some might be the wrong wattage

    Great idea... However, been ill for the last few day so just been out to try a couple of these things and they are working fine. Typical. Perhaps now worse this is an intermittent problem. I'll get back to you guys....
