My turn signals flash when I am doing something to the alarm or security code. Turn signals flashing sounds security related. Trouble codes I thought only appear on the check engine display with the numerical code appearing in the odometer when you press and hold trip/odometer switch. I have had trouble codes before. Never had the issue of turn signals flashing for no reason. I always knew why--me messing with the security mod with key fob or resetting security code. I am not much help on this issue.

It means the bike will self-destruct in 5 seconds. There should be a big smoking pile there now. If it still looks like a motorcycle, the self-destruct capacitor is defective and should be replaced. There's been a recall issued for this. It's been such a problem, they actually closed the plant in York because of it.
Just be thankful you weren't riding it at the time.
