Depends on what you are calling a ticking noise. It could be a little bit of hydraulic lifter noise which, if it is light and/or it goes away when the bike reaches operating temperature is okay/normal OR it could also be rocker clatter which may not go away completely at operating temperature but which is okay if it is a light ticking and/or it also goes away at operating tempersture.

SOURCE: Need a stater diagram please

the starter bolts in. It's a standard Nippondenso type starter. What is your problem, it may not be the starter.

Since you've checked the battery and the voltage regulator, I'm going to make an assumption that the bike will not start. Well, let's check a few things first.

First, check for voltage at the large bolt on the starter. There should be 12 volts or more at this junction. If you follow this large black wire upwards, you'll find that it connects directly to the positive battery post. Make sure these connections are clean.

Now, look at the end of the starter just below that box on the right side of the bike right behind the rear exhaust pipe. You'll see a pentagon shaped (5-sided) plate. This is the end plate on the starter's solenoid. Right at the top of this plate is a plug with a single wire running to it, usually the wire is green in color. Unplug this wire and insert the positive probe of your volt meter. Negative probe to a good ground. Turn on the ignition switch and press the "start" button, you should show 12 volts or more on this wire when you press the button. If you show the 12 volts, the problem is in the starter.

If you do not get 12 volts here, your problem is somewhere else. Make sure the "Run/Stop" switch is in the "Run" position. There is a starter relay on the bike somewhere. Not sure where it is on that year model bike but you should be able to hear a faint "click" when you press the "start" button. If the bike has an "electrics box" it may be located there or it could be on the front side of the rear fender.

SOURCE: i need to remove the fuel tank on my 2006 harley davidson

I haven't worked on a bike as new as yours but your bike is one of the Dyna series of motorcycles that Harley makes. Most Dyna's have one piece tanks instead of the twin tanks like on a Softail series bike.

To get the tank off, first remove the seat. Disconnect the fuel lines and drain the fuel from the tank. Disconnect the fuel "crossover" hose at the front of the tank. Disconnect any wires going to fuel gauges and fuel pumps in the tank. Now, take the nut off the top of the dash and remove it. There should be three bolts that hold the instrument cluster on, remove them. Unplug the connectors under the instrument cluster, usually three of those. Now, there is one bolt at the front of the tank and possibly two at the rear. Lift the tank off the frame.

Taking the tank off is not that difficult of a problem. Just watch what you're doing and don't force anything. If something won't come off, look for anonother bolt somewhere. Usually, the wiring connectors are idiot proof in that they will only connect with the correct mating plug and you can't connect them in the wrong way.

If the bike per chance has split tanks, you won't have to take the instrument panel off the frame, just the dash cover. The tanks have two bolts in the front and one bolt in the rear of each tank, one on either side of the frame.

Now, keep in mind that I told you that I haven't worked on your particular model of bike doing this particular job. But, Harley usually doesn't change much on their bikes. View the information I gave you here a "general guidelines". Use your head and you'll be using the best tool you've got. No problem.

Testimonial: "thank you. i am going to give it a shot. i layed the bike over a couple weeks ago. i need to paint the tank. "

SOURCE: 2006 Harley Davidson street glide brake light

Try loosening the bolts holding the front master cylinder on the handlebars. Slide the master cylinder down as close as possible to the right handlebar switch housing. If this doesn't work, the front brake light switch is probably bad and needs to be replaced in the right switch housing.

Good luck
Steve

What is the ticking noise when engine is cold

Nina, most likely, it's coming from the engine cam which is not abnormal to occur at initial cold start-ups.

Other possibilities if it continues after the engine warms up, loose heat shield and/or bolts that attach your exhaust pipes to the engine's exhaust manifold.

I hope my answer helps since your query is vague.

2006 Harley Street Bob will not start

Sounds like the battery is bad - no amperage --- If you had the battery load tested & you know it's good, reset the TSSM. The procedure will be in the owners manual.
