I've never noticed any clicking sound when I first turn it on... not that I've been listening for it, and usually have my helmet on by then. Probably there though.

I'll make sure I give it time in the future.
Fast clicking...more of a hum, really. Definitely audible. Actually reminds me of my old '61 E-type Jag, which also had an electric fuel pump. You'll know it when you hear it.

Oh Yeah,

When I first turn on the igniton you can hear the fuel pump priming, its really loud (almost a grating sound) if the bike hasnt been used for a few days.
Hav'nt noticed the engine light coming on though,
although I'm rather methodical when starting the bike and not normaly in a rush.
I do however, sometimes forget to use the kill switch when I stop the motor,I turn it off by key, does'nt seem to have caused any problems though.

Cheers

Nige

Now that (strangely enough) they did tell me not to do, because it would cause issues with the fuel injection.

That practice has caused a problem with a few guys on this forum. I did it once with no issue but there are a few posts of guys throwing codes doing that as well. My dealer was very specific and ran me through starting this bike 3 times. I just thought that maybe I looked really stupid shopping for a motorcycle in a snow storm....

I never use my kill switch, ever. I never have any codes, or lights.

Funny, my dealer did a great walk-through with me, and even though my bike is carbed, he said to wait until the light went off. Now that I have read the posts about this, it makes me wonder if he says that for every bike. I wondered why I would have to wait, but this is my first big twin, so I didn't know. I still wait though - part of my starting routine...

I would bet there is something other than just starting it too early.

I often start before the engine light goes out and I have not had any error codes ('06 lowrider).
