Update: I have been trying to fix this over the last few days with no real success, it still works intermittently for varying lengths of time but probably about halt of the time it just buzzes at me. Here's where I'm at:
New switch and flasher, cleaned switch didn't work, Bypassing switch with jumper wires still just buzzed, hazards work, all bulbs light up ok on hazards and indicator fuse is good, all lights work ok so I'm ruling out the ground behind the light units.
I'm wondering what would make the flasher just buzz rather than stick open or closed, could it be that there's an intermittent short somewhere between the switch and the flasher causing it to get too little current? Looking at the wiring diagram in the Haynes it suggests that one pin on the flasher is for the indicators, one for hazards and a ground, that could explain why the hazards still work ok.
I'm at the point of calling in a pro to look at it, seriously the electrics on my Italian motorbike are easier to work out than this.
