Kymco agility 50 4 stroke. When the engine is running whether its idling or when riding, the engine dies when the turn signals are used. There's also a clicking sound. what's going on here?

Your lack of initiative to reference a wiring diagram and troubleshoot with a multi-meter?

Disconnect the turn signal flasher unit. Troubleshoot the T/S circuit. Probable short to ground. Apologize to the tortoise for offending his massive sensitivities.

Your battery charged ? Kymco flashers are pretty good quality and loud so is it buzzing ?

The Kymco machines use a DC CDI to operate the ignition. If your battery voltage is low, and you operate the flasher, it will draw juice, perhaps enough to make the CDI fail. Check battery voltage as suggested by CC, and also check your battery voltage with the engine running to see if there is any charging going on. Unless you have a short to ground in the turn signal circuit, you may have a bad battery(low charge) or a lack of charging voltage. Given you can start the engine(guessing push a button), the battery may be fine, but the wiring bogus. A bulb that is twisted in its socket due to age(the glue holding the glass bulb tight can fail) can be a direct short, and pull enough juice to normally blow the fuse, but things happen. You can disconnect bits & pieces of the signal wiring to locate a bad spot. tom

Dead battery (or really, really low). I've been fussing over electrical issues with my Matrix which is DC... and the volts were at 11.8 and I'm riding at 40mph - honk the horn and it acted like a kill switch. Dropped the volts so low the CDI couldn't operate.
Get that battery charged up, or put a DC voltmeter on your battery terminals and cruise around and see what it reads. Your stator and/or regulator/rectifier could be going bad.

Your lack of initiative to reference a wiring diagram and troubleshoot with a multi-meter? I know acerbic responses are your thing, but why be a jerk? Matt
