Hi, I can't think what it could be. Both headlight and 'sidelight' both work on their own fine, but when you switch on to 'fullbeam' the right indicator comes on and stays on!
The bike can't be ridden like this so an asap response would be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

It could be that your indicator has either condensated up or the seal is allowing water to build up inside the indicator lens allowing the bulb to make a full circuit through earthing out - both will cause the problem that you have described.
Remove the Indicator cover and bulb, clean both and dry thoroughly - perhaps purchase a new indicator bulb as well, inspect the indicator lens and seal if damaged replace.
hope this gets you back on the road.

It sounds like a bad earth in the headlight casing or the switch on the handle bars could be at fault

I almost gave you an answer, but your wording started to confuse me. Use the correct terminology.
Headlight has high & low beam
Sidelight is called turn signal
Front turn signals have running lights (are always on) and flashing lights (turn signal).
Indicator is a light near the handle bar (or on the speedometer) that lights when the high beam is on and when the turn signals are flashing. It indicates what is going on.

someone has connected the high beam light warning light with your indicator
