Weak battery? Does the problem go away when the generator is charging? Could also be bad terminal connections between voltage supply and X terminal at the flasher. Best place to connect the fuse is at the generator side of the firewall junction box. Use a B-crimper or solder terminals at the wire ends to prevent corrosion.

What's happening is the opposite brake lamp draws about 3 amps, which will reduce available voltage from the battery alone, but should work ok with your regulated generator in operation. Just keep at fast idle while sitting at stop lights.
