Default Crazy problem

so i dont know if this problem relates to this but today i turned off my bike and when i went back like 2 mins later to start it i had this problem,

I turn the key to the on postion the mph gauge counts down from the top goes to 0 but then all my turn signal lights stay lit up along with the blue head light signal stays turned on as well. I dont hear the full pump click on either. So at this point all the lights on the dash are lit up, the bike is in neutral and kick stand is down. I hit the start button and the bike starts up but as soon as i release the start button the bike shuts back down.

I can ride the bike while holding the start button down but there are no headlights on even if i hit the bright switch. I just had the bike serviced today and never experienced this problem until today but i have only had the bike for 2 weeks and its a 01 f4i

Any ideas?

well the worst part is, is i called the shop back and talked to the shop manager and hes like "ive never heard of this problem and all he could tell me was maybe theres a grounding issue or your starter switch is going bad" which dosnt make sense since it starts fine, its just the initial activity lights dont turn off and the full pump dosnt click over.

so i feel like they wouldnt be able to fix it or say they are going to charge me something crazy
