Default Hazards flash upon startup

I recently had my bike tuned with the Twin Tec TC88A ignition module and I have noticed that when I click the start button and the engine light comes on, the hazards will flash several times then stop. The bike cranks fine and runs fine. Is this a common occurance with the module?

Thanks
Eric

When the flashers blink 5 times when you switch the run switch to on, it means that a diagnostic code has been thrown.&nbsp\\; You can check the codes on the speedometer in diagnostic mode.

+1 - I haven't seen the problem with my TC88A.
