Default Strange turn signal behavior

So I noticed this week that when I'm riding my bike over a certain RPM, for the first 5 minutes or so after starting out, the turn signals flash about twice as fast.
Just started doing this, this week.

At idle it's normal speed or if I pull the clutch in while they're flashing fast, it goes back to normal speed.

After about 5 minutes of riding they work just fine!

Any ideas?
battery or charging system related perhaps?
I keep the bike on a battery tender when in the garage, as the battery was dead at the beginning of the season this year, having not ridden for almost 2 months.
