Question Help please! :) Flashing lights, no start...

As many of you know, I got my fender repaired yesterday and put the bike back together. Everything went back together fine... next task is the change all the fluids.

I rolls the bike out of my garage (which is level) and get off and try to turn it on. Nothing. WTH? The only thing the bike did was flash the turn signal indicators back and forth on the panel on the tank. I pull the seat off, mess with some wires to make sure something wasnt loose, go to turn on again... nothing. Just flashing lights again. I put the seat back on.

At this point I duck walk the bike back in the garage. Just for the hell of it, I try to fire it up... it fires right up! WTH again? lol So turn it off, walk it back out to my driveway and try to get a video, go to turn it on and again... NOTHING... just flashing lights again. I leave the kill switch on run and sit on the bike and it does the flashing lights back and for again. I pull the seat off, play with wires again and then sit on it again... flashing lights again and no start. I repeated this about 10 times probably.

So I duck walk it back in the garage, and again.... it fires right up.

Does anyone know why this is so random? Its always fired up before when I turn it on the driveway. My first thought was the ECM was loose and something was going on there because I did reinstall the seat and fender this morning.

I am afraid to drive it anywhere and it die on me in the middle of riding or not start after I turn it off.

Thoughts?

Do you have an alarm? If so is the fob on you or in the garage? Maybe battery going dead on fob if you have one? Just a couple thoughts.
