His reply was classic - "well, if you read the instructions Mr. Engineer, you would have discovered that the blue wire is used to turn-on the OEM amp." The silence on my end was deafening. I hated that guy, and loved him at the same time.

Welcome aboard!

Truly classic!

Hey everybody! Remember me???

Bought a new battery, got the sulfuric acid (SG 1.265) poured it in, let it sit, topped it off, and charged it. Currently at 12.75VDC. No start. Has electricity flowing (lights are on), but still clicking. What next? The starter? Solenoid?

Always said I wanted to learn how to work on bikes. Never thought I would have to on a bike that was previously running....

Test for voltage at the starter when you hit start.

If it's not there
Check out the solenoid.
Doesn't cost anything to check fuses.
Be in neutral .
Clutch pulled
Kill switch set to run

You may also want to check the large ground wire which is connected to the right side case just above the oil sight glass , as it is the wire that completes the circuit from the starter motor ,it needs to be clean and tight. The ground for the lights being the separate smaller wire running to the ground terminal of the battery , you may have lights ,but the starter will not run.
