I replaced the battery in my 2013 pcx150. After the install all the bars on the fuel gage blinks all of the time. Any ideas why this happened? Is it safe to ride with the fuel gage blinking?

I would have thought so. Unless it is absolutely blinding.
Have you tried it? Wear sunglasses just in case?

You need the manual or a mechanic. There are a couple procedures for figuring out what's going on involving shorting pins in a connector and observing the speed of the meter blinking. The results are open circuits, a bad float/sending unit, or a bad instrument cluster (niiiice).
You CAN ride it all you want, though. Just pay attention to the mileage and fuel up accordingly as bikers have been doing for over a hundred years, now.. (This is the first bike I've had with a fuel gauge)(I'm old).
