Default Another tech question

Also now sometimes when I get on my bike the security signals flash when I turn the key for about 3 seconds. Its the same flash that goes off when people get on the bike if I dont have the fog near the bike? It just happened a few days ago and I am freaking out that my bike is going to shut down on me because the fog is all Xed up!

Its a 2008 harley sportster 883L with 1500 miles

Good to know, do you know what the battery life is usually like on the fob?
