Check for shorts to ground at the controls to your blinker switch. Have you changed out your handle bars? If so, you could have pinched or nicked some wires that controls your blinkers.
Good luck

if the fuse material is spattered inside the housing- or black carbon traces- then you have a short circuit.

if the fuse material appears to have just sagged and parted, then you have an overload.

...lowered bike? check the taillight wiring under the rear fender

Another place to look in inside the fairing on he left side where a wire loom goes over a brace for the fairing.

I'd check any accessories I've added for a short via frayed, damaged, or pinched wire. Sounds like a direct short.
