Welcome from So. Texas. In reading about the S&S cams they supposedly make a ticking sound at start up until around 1K rpm, also at shut down. This was according to their video on them on their web site.

Could be the EZ starts, I guess, but many users and associated noise is not widely reported.

I would be more suspicious of the rocker shaft movement in the support plate; the rpm range is typical. Suggest that the OP pull the rocker shafts and look for witness marks on the shafts to confirm. If marks are there, install a set of Rocker Lockers and the noise will go away.

I had S&S easy start 583s in my ‘08 Deluxe and my brother still runs them in his ‘08 Fatboy.We have never had the issues you describe.
There is a little tick (or click) when the engine is switched off( sometimes- not always) and I can’t recall any noise on startup-especially not over the myriad of noises these things make when you push that button. They worked exactly as it says on the box.
BTW, you would probably never get much better advice than Dolt’s- I’d be doing what he suggests.
