Default Something went wrong with ECM reflash!

Sent the ECM into RevPerf for a new flash after some upgrades to the bike, the bike ran fine before, but after the reflash all it does is spin over and will not start. CEL light comes on with igniton switch and goes out for 8 seconds, then comes on and stays on, there is no security system on my bike. Cannot get the bike to go into diagnostic mode at all, so I can't even see if there are any codes stored. To me this sounds like a serial bus problem, but it would have to be inside the ECM. I have emailed Revperf but it was late tonight and I will call them tomorrow to get this ECM shipped back to them to be checked out.

**UPDATE** Bike is now running, stupid mistake on my part!....CEL light still on and will not go into diagnostic mode.....

Harley guys don't make mistakes, some susuki guy must have sneaked into your garage and messed with your bike, happens all the time.

Probably my buddy that rides a Yamaha Roadstar, he does have keys to my garage!.....Actually forgot to hook the fuel line back up!

Sending the ECM back to RevPerf tomorrow, talked to Andrew who works there and he wants to take a look at it to see what went wrong, all I know is it worked perfectly before the "flash" now I can't even get into diagnostic mode, so sounds like something inside for the bus communication is messed up, just my thought though.
