Direction indicators are required by law to have a bulb failure warning system. This is usually achieved by designing the flasher module to increase its speed if the current drawn by the bulbs is less than it should be.
Check the bulbs by switching on the Hazard flashers.
I had a similar problem with mine, though they all flashed correctly when the Hazard switch was used, using the indicator stalk the RH indicator flashed quickly and none of the bulbs flashed. It turned out to be nothing more than a poor connection inside the steering column shroud where there are a number of connectors between the stalks, flashers and the rest of the car's wiring. Good luck.
