I've been busy all day, so I didn't get a chance to look at anything.  Your readings tell me your blinkers should not be working at all.  Yes,

would usually be correct.  I have 0 knowledge what goes on inside the chip inside the instrument cluster.  A PM to suzyj might help

Thanks for the PM.

There is some ungoodness happening. Your double-rate flashing is because the driver sees a blown bulb (= no or low current)on one of it's outputs. This may be a broken wire, which I foubt as then you'd see 0V on the front right indicator output, it might be a dodgy connector at the indicator or cluster, or it may be a damaged output FET on the driver chip in your cluster.

See https://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=56614.msg1166122#msg1166122 for what's in your instrument cluster.

I think the next step is to open that up and have a look. They are very badly sealed so it's likely water has gotten in.

To stop the double rate flashing with a damaged chip you can disable the current monitoring, as I did to make it work with LEDs by cutting a couple of pins off the driver chip.

However this still isn't right, as the current from both bulbs is now being sourced from one FET in the chip, potentially stuffing it. If you swap to LED indicators this would be okay.
