starter just clicks
07/03/18 at 19:08:54
 
Hi,
Can someone point me to my next troubleshooting step for my starter just clicking?

Here's what I've done/tried:
* took out starter and check it spun when battery connected, yes.
* replaced the solenoid/relay can thing under the seat.

Here's what happens:
Key on, clutch pulled.  I press starter button, and it clicks.
I can feel the click.  I *think* I hear it at the starter but maybe not.

Any ideas?
thanks!

WAIT ! You've been a member on this site for 8 years and you have to ask?  Why don't look in the Technical Section.Or look down the page a few topics at "clicking" and read !

Have you put a volt meter to the battery yet?
If you haven't, you should.
clicking usually indicates a problem with the battery because you got enough to pull in the decomp and as soon as the starter relay kicks in the battery goes low and releases the decomp.  as soon as the starter releases you got voltage again and the cycle repeats.

could be the bat, could be a short, could be the starter.

and if the stator cover has been off, someone coulda put the washers back in the wrong spot and that will lock up the starter.

Next, pull the clutch safety connector.  one of those leads will read 12v when you push the starter button.
Next check you're getting 12v at the relay.

What year is it?  Does the headlight go out when you hit the starter?

I shined my 2011 up last week and went to start it a couple of days later-
No start .....

I looked at the tech section here and it reminded me of the kill switch-
Sure enough ... I had shined the kill switch right into the "off" position.

Flip the switch, push the button - BINGO

You can try a jump from a car battery... (car engine not running!)... (Car alternator output can fry our little bikes electrics)
If the bike starts,.. yer battery is too weak.

Also,.. check the ground wire from the battery to engine. Just behind the clutch actuator on the engine.
