Default 14 Ultra flashers stayed on

Got home this afternoon, pulled into the garage, shut of the bike, emergency flashers started flashing, never stopped. WTF??? Finally pulled the maxi-fuse, stuck it back in, back to normal. Any ideas?

If Dawg said it was a security issue..it is most likely that. bring it back to the dealer have them check out the system real quick. Better that then be somewhere and it won't start.

The flashers flash two or three times after you shut off the ignition to indicate the security system is activated - alternating left and right. Once the system is activated, if the bike is disturbed they'll start flashing again - all together. So if they were flashing all together (like regular 4-ways), something in the security system believed there was an issue to alert. Eventually they should shut off. Should reset if you have the fob and turn the ignition back on. Not sure if you tried that before you pulled the fuse.

If it happens again, you may have an issue with sensor in the security system that senses movement.

Yep, I tried starting it back up, killing it, turning the ignition back on, still flashing. Once I pulled the fuse, it started and ran, I killed it and it returned to normal. Gremlins!

I'd take it back to the dealer, then. There is definitely something wrong.

Push the starter button up while the bike is running. This should stop the flashers.

You probably hit the emergency flasher button when you shut it down. You no longer turn the flashers on by pressing both turn signal buttons at the same time. The 2014 bikes have a flasher button: Right handlebar switch housing, "inside" button, press the top. To turn them off, press it again. I found this out while trying buttons on my first ride home from the dealer.

I just went out to the garage to check. To turn them on, the main switch needs to be on or accessories. To turn them off, it also has to be on or accessories. When the switch is off, lock, or unlock, they will not turn off.
