Check the fuse and report back. Are the sidelights (on the same fuse/circuit) still working? If they aren't then it's the fuse again.

If this is the case then it sounds like there may be a short somewhere causing the fuse to blow when the engine is running which will need to be investigated. It could be that there is a cross-over/short between the headlamp circuit and the side lamp/indicator circuit? Likely places for this to happen are in the handlebar switch assembly or in the main loom under the tank.

You could narrow things down by replacing fuse 1 again (if it's gone) and removing the headlamp fuse (fuse 3) before you start the engine again. Then see if the indicators work...
