This is probably the starter gear engaging in the engine. Shouldn't be a problem unless it doesn't engage properly.

Close to the battery in the red wire.

That does not sound good. I suggest you get it to a dealer before you do any additional damage.

Remove drain plug on bottom center of primary case to drain it. remove derby cover o refill it and ONLY until the fluid just touches the bottom of the clutch diaphragm spring.

To check the STATOR. Turn ignition key switch OFF, then disconnect the voltage regulator connector from alternator stator wiring. THEN connect an ohmmeter set on the RX1 scale with one lead into either of the stator sockets and the other lead to a good ground. And test for continuity - a good stator will show no continuity (0 ohms) across either stator socket - any other reading indicates a grounded stator which must be replaced. THEN remove the ground lead and insert lead it into the other stator socket - the resistance (with ohmmeter still set on the RX1 scale)should be 0.1-0.2 ohms - if the resistance is lower a stator short is indicated. Which means that the stator is damaged and must be replaced. - if the resistance is higher (OL on meter), an open is indicated and again, the stator is damaged and must be replaced. You should check socket 1 to 2 then 1 to 3 then 2 to 3. (If you only had a two wire stator you would check between wires/sockets 1 and 2). Before testing short out the ohmmeter leads against each other and if they do not produce a reading of0 ohms subtract the reading you do get from any readings you get doing the stator checks in order to get accurate stator circuit readings, otherwise you may have out of range reading due to the internal and/or lead resistance of the ohmmeter.

The tach wire will be a pink wire under the wire loom leading up to your speedo. It's usually tucked into the conduit. If you don't have it there, then you'll have to run one all the way to the ECM. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/robert_5bac37c3cb991fdb

There are two.The front switch is inside the right handlebar switch housing (START, RUN/OFF kill switch, RIGHT TURN SIGNAL) and operates off the front brake lever.The usual problem with this is it either sticks, or the "tit" that works off the brake lever gets broken off, usually because the front master cylinder wasn\'t installed by the correct procedure.Usual results is the brake light will not turn off with the ignition on.The other switch is located along the rear brake hydraulic line.Start at the master cylinder and follow the line back to the rear caliper, and you\'ll find it eventually.It appears Harley has a problem with the rear brake light switch on this year, as it tends to spring a leak, brake pedal goes all the way down without stopping, sometimes smoking from the brake fluid being sprayed on hot engine parts, etc.
