Default flashers blink when turning the bike on

Every once in a while when I turn on my bike the flashers blink for a few seconds then it stops. I took it to the dealership to see what was causing it and they wanted to keep my bike for a week. Do any of yall know what causes it.

What year is this bike?&nbsp\\; Could be a very normal thing for a security system!

I'm kind of curious about this myself. I've noticed the same thing on my '05 Road Glide. I do not have a security system.

Mine have suddenly started flashing 6 times every time I turn on the ignition also.&nbsp\\; I have read some postings in this forum from two years ago they indicate a stored code # 31 Alarm Output Low. I don't have an alarm. They never posted a solution to the problem that I could find, Any answers out there? 01 heritage
