This is usually a symptom of a bad plug wire or connection at the plug
or cap. Could also be a bad plug. I'd start by using an ohmmeter (or
DVM) to check the resistance between each terminal inside the dizzy cap,
and it's associated spark plug terminal. The exact value will vary with
the type of wires you have fitted, but should be reasonably even, and
less than 10K ohms.

Are you sure it's the turn indicator and not the ignition lamp ? If it
is the turn indicator, it almost has to be related to vibration from the
engine, perhaps a bad (sensitive) flasher. Try disconnecting the light
green wire at the flasher. If the lamp no longer glows, the flasher is
the problem. If it still glows, the light green wire is shorting to
something between the flasher and the panel lamp.
