Neither do I tbh, but i do know that a short circuit or bad earth can cause all sorts of strange effects..... hopefully you will find a simple fix!

K2-K6:
Picking up on what Rob has said there, about poor earth.

Try running it in the dark with lights off,  then turn the indicators on.  Look carefully to see if you have any glowing in other (non indicator)  lights.

If you can see anything it would confirm the indicators are not fully earthed.  They will try to track out on any other available earth route to establish a circuit.

If you've ever seen cars with all of the rear light cluster flashing dimly when indicating, that's a good illustration.

Check effectiveness of main battery earth too.

Moorey:
If you still have the buzzer on the indicators try disconnecting the black feed to it.
They are a multi positional switch on US switches the first part of the push should disconnect the feed to the riding lamp in the indicator, at the same time flashing the indicator whilst holding it in that position. When you push it right over then the riding lamp is still disconnected the indicator flashes and the buzzer buzzes.
The black feed to the signal buzzer comes from the same connector as the black feed to engine stop switch.
Got to be worth a try.

Nigellynch:
