Hey all, been out of town for a couple months and when i got back i decided to fire up the trike, 2013 F6b with motortrike raptor, when i turned the ignition key on heard clicking sound that appeared to be coming from the rear portion of the bike. Clicking lasted a few seconds and went away. Trike fired right up and seemed fine, took her for a spin and besides being neglected all seemed well. To be clear, clicking started when i turned the key, not when i tried to start it. Also, the handlebar switch was in the off position, not sure if that matters but figured i would through that out there.

This happened two days in a row but won't do it right away after I cycle the ignition (i dont have to start it, just turning the ignition off and back on). Have it on tender so it's not the battery. Need to wait another day or two and see if i can isolate the sound further, any thoughts?

Fuel pump priming up...:Shrug:....
 
so i pulled the seat today to check the relays for chatter and it wasn't that... even further below / behind. it appears the sound is the air suspension pump coming on momentarily.... which I'm not sure why it would without a demand for more air. i'm embarrassed to say i can't remember whether or not this has always happened so i emailed tech support.
