Year? Model? Milage? Anything done recently? Carbed or FI? If you want help, going to have to make an effort with us, and the bike

I doubt starter relay, since lights are flashing.

As Zerk says above, check the fob? Drop in the Welcome area and introduce yourself.

My advice to you is this. When there is a problem, diagnose the problem and then make repairs. Don't start indiscriminately replacing parts. All you will do is throw good money after bad.

This. Turns flashing back and forth indicates security system activated, which is why dawg, et al are suggesting replacing fob battery.
