Default Flashing blinkers - help.

Ok, my boy just got a 2002 Deuce (carb). When he turns the ignition on, all 4 blinkers flash several times then return to normal. What does this mean? Thanks.

Stock signals and they work as they should, and it starts so I don't think it's security.

Your emergency flashers are on,start the bike and push in both directionals at the same time,then release,that will shut them off

I'm not sure about the ignition - I'll have to check that one out. If this helps, they flash 6 times quickly then turn off - not slow flashing like the emergency flashers.

I'm having signal problems on the left side, they dont work at all. But the right side also flashes 6 times fast when the ignition is turned on.

No security, so no fob.
