turn signals flashing left and right, bike won't start
G'day all,
My battery was flat (hadn't ridden bike (07 fatboy) all winter) and so I bought a battery charger / maintainer and put it on a couple of days ago. I went back today and it seems that it HAS actually charged the battery ok but the bike will NOT start now.
All it does is flash the turn signals left / right / left / right / left / right and then there is a break and then it does it again... it even does it for a while after I turn the ignition off but when I push in the starter button nothing happens.
No Alarm sounds so I don't think it is the alarm.... would this be that it has forgotten the FOB id and I need to re-program it or is something f*cked?
Any help greatly appreciated.

a lot of times if you just wiggle the fob battery it will work (oxidation on battery/contacts)
Do you have the code to enter via directional switches ?
if you have the HD Factory security system, or the HD Smart Security system?
it shouldn't "forget" the fob
on my 04 RoadKing I had the battery disconnected for a few months while i rerouted the wiring harness , and it work fine after it was reconnected(HD Factory security System).
If its the Smart Security system, did you move the antenna when you worked on the battery ?

I think the man said it doesn't crank.
Change the FOB battery.
