Both Blinkers blink when i turn on a turn signal

Another view for you Papa. This one is a bit different since it is the Aussie version. I didn't notice but it is simpler. The Euro version had wires (the ones missing from this diagram) going to an alarm system that must have been standard there. Apparently the service manual I have is for Euro and Aussie bikes, not USA. The labels for the new stuff are below.

25 Combination Meter, whatever that is

26 Hi Beam Indicator Light
27 Turn Signal Indicator Light
28 Meter Lights
32 Fuel Sender
49 Oil Level Switch

Bingo (I think) - those little triangles with the bar in front are symbols for diodes, and with a circle around it is an LED. So it does have a single indicator light, right? The four diodes arranged at the indicator lamp allow the signal current to pass through the indicator & to the bulbs through one pair or the other depending on which side is switched on - you can trace it by the direction of the arrows. The 'opposite' pair of LED's acts to block the flow of current to the un-switched signal side - but they aren't completely blocking & allowing enough voltage through to dimly light the opp. side.
Increasing the inline resistors @ the signals should take care of it, I think.

Sounds right. The term is "Leakage Current."
