Title: help! my bike wont start! Post by b3t on 03/28/10 at 09:37:52 I just changed out some new turn signals/brake light and my bike wont start. Headlight (low/high), turn signals, brake light ALL work; I also get a weak horn. battery reads 11.6v. I checked for loose connectors, no joy! it attempts to crank then after 2-4 seconds all I hear is clicking from the starter relay. any help is greatly appreciated!

My savage recently went dead, dead, dead. The only thing illuminated was the speedo and the tail light, it turned out to be a loose connector under the gas tank, forward left.
