    Clicking Sound

    I may have a relay problem. When I shut the bike off many times I hear a clicking sound coming from the somewhere around the cam cover.
    Hitting the kill siwtch for about 10 seconds must reset it.

    If there is anyone who has had this problem or has an idea of where it's coming from please let me know. It's driving me nuts . . . . . and after the trip to Tennessee that's a short drive!!!

    I take it you have led lights or no running lights on the front. Quick fix, shut it off in neutral. The decomp selenoid is clicking.

    OR: install a resistor in the blue running light wire in the headlight bucket.

    OR: install a small bulb connected to the blue running light wire in the headlight bucket. Something like an automotive dash light bulb not an led.

    +1 in neutral with the key. And you will have no problems.

    Here we go again.. sorry I asked about this last weekend.. basically you are consuming less voltage than stock and the excess produces the clicking sound when shut off..

    I installed a bulb in the headlight bucket, but it could be blown or loose. I'll check it out.

    Thanks!

    For those that don't like Resistors or Bulbs an alternative :) and also not mounted in the headlight for my install Wink


    Here's something that is bullet proof. It's a sealed standard automotive relay wired up to the rear running light circuit and acts as a resisitor. Draws 0.125 amp, 1.6 watts consumption, 90 ohms and only gets warm.
    Just wire the coil only (Terminals 85 and 86) and will out last the bike. Cost $2.88 from Mouser Electronics. Doesn't matter about the contact configuration as you won't be using them. This coil is rated at 10G shock and millions of cycles





    Wire Coil Terminals 85 and 86 ONLY to the Running light Circuit, Blue and Black wires. The contacts aren't used

    Is that what that is, the decomp solenoid? I always figured it was the fuel system bleeding off pressure, since it sounds like it slows down toward the end
