I had similar issues on my 06 xb12ss, click click click all the time when i went to start it, even with a new battery. I ended up checking every ground, found a possible culprit on the grounding strap and then I proceeded to clean the starter switch inside the handlebar assembly. Sanded and cleaned the contacts, and now she hasnt clicked at all. This may or may nor pertain to your issue, but its worth a shot.[smirk]
