help! my bike wont start!
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!

Charge the battery, 11.6 volts is nowhere enough to turn over the engine let alone fire it up.

Two possibilities:

Bad connectors at battery, so clean if that is the issue.

Loose connector. 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.
