Ok so here is a little background on where the bike is now and what I have done that may have exacerbated anything or caused it not to start.

I have installed the RYCA decomp Lever (Thumb) and performed the clutch mod. I have bypassed (Removed) the sidestand safety interlock. All Electrical seems to be working as best as I can tell. I have also removed the airbox and replaced with K&N filter. When I got the bike approximately a month ago everything was running fine, albiet it appeared to be running a little lean. I hooked up the tank today with fresh tank of gas and attempted to fire her up and I get chunky whirring noise, I assume is the starter turning, then after a few moments the whirring stops and I get double ticking noise I guess is the sparker trying to work.

So my startup procedure is thus:

Key in ignition - > switch to "ON" - > press red switch to the cycle symbol -> press black switch to initiate the whirring and clicking but no Idle.

I have tried the above sequence both with choke all the way into the bike and all the way pulled out, I have also tried depressing the decomp lever on startup and not doing so. Some things I have noticed this last time I tried, the decomp lever has less range of motion than previously I get shorter and shorter whirring noises and more clicking as I try this (I assume I am killing the battery). I am directed to the spark plug first based on the clymer, but between the time I got it from previous owner running fine and now it has not been run. My other guess is the decomp lever, but I am unsure how to dig more deeply into what is causing the engine to not reach an Idle state. Any Help would be much appreciated, Thank you.

I was pressing the decomp down then pressing the black switch, then releasing, is this correct?

The clicking is the sign of a weak battery.

After charging the battery try again to restart the engine. This time don't bother with the Decomp lever at all. If it doesn't fire after a half dozen attempts, stop trying. From there we can try to isolate whether this is a problem due to fuel, spark or compression.

You can jump start the battery with a car, just DON'T HAVE THE CAR RUNNING!!!! It will fry your bike's electrical system.

The odd fact that the battery can have enough voltage to turn the engine over, but not not enough voltage for the ignition module to spark the spark plug has bitten quite a few of us Savage owners. At about 11 volts, the ignition module quits working, but there may still be enough voltage to turn the engine over.
