I went out today to go for a ride. I turned the key on the light came on like normal then the flashers started to blink. I haven't even tried to start it yet. Of course I hit the run button then the starter button and nothing. I had it out for a ride last night and it ran fine. Came in last night and put it back on the battery tender, it has a green light on it saying it fully charged. Any help would be great.

Have you checked the actual voltage at battery? Take off charger and let set for a few min, then check voltage. If you have a shop local that can perform a good test on the battery, I would do that as well if showing good voltage (above 12.8 VDC)
You might also want to check all connections at the battery. Making sure all wires are not only crimped good, but tight to the battery. The bikes have a lot of vibration and the battery bolts will tend to loosen up after time.
With battery out, you can get to the EHC harness easily and make sure you have a good connection there...that is, if you still have the factory EHC?

I agree with Andrew, I would have the battery tested with a load on it, especially since you had it on the charger for while and then it started.

Batteries in these bikes take a lot of abuse, vibration, high heat due to the location and they just don't hold up.
