Howdy....bike not starting.

When I press starter button, nothing happens...not even the clicking from the solenoid. After testing the circuit, starter button appears to be fine, coil is new, then discovered the solenoid was faulty, so I replaced it.
Still did not start, and again, no response from the solenoid/relay.
So I went around the circuit to check the starter motor directly from the battery, and starter appears to be dead as well.
If so, would this prevent the solenoid from engaging?
Before I go to the expense of replacing the starter motor, any suggestions or recommendations??
Thanks in advance, all...

Wits end...

  If you have jumper cables ,and a car battery testing the starter becomes easy, but first you need to be sure the ground cable above the oil sight glass about 2'' and in about 2'' on a bolt on the center case is clean and tight , that completes the ground from the starter, through the motor case and back to the battery. after that connect the car battery (with the bike in neutral) to a ground (bolt/) anywhere on the bike and the car battery to the top post on the starter , if the starter turns the motor over it's good . if the bike still doesn't start normally after that I'd try looking at things like the kill switch (try flipping it on and of a few times - it might be corrosion ).Or test the clutch switch 'either would keep the bike from starting.
   Justin's idea of checking the fuses would be a first good move.

To all...first, thanks for replying so quickly.

zip....checked the kill switch numerous times and even removed the switch housing and cleaned it. It seems to be working fine but worth another look.

batman...everything appears to be in order, but I did have the frame powder coated and did clean a spot for the ground, but will check again. Used your method of checking starter motor, using the bike battery, but will try the car battery.

justin...did check the fuses and they look fine, but maybe worth replacing, as that's a simple, cheap replacement.

Again, thanks everyone!!!! Hope to reply with good news soon...

I would 1st make sure the starter will turn using a battery (mc bat is fine) and jumper cables directly to the starter.
If it jumps, put the ground cable to the frame, if it jumps go to the relay with the positive...
touch the side going to the starter, if it jumps let's check the wiring.

I'm assuming everything is hooked up, pull the clutch safety plug, with a volt meter one lead to ground and one lead in one of the plug.  push the start button... one lead or the other will make the vm jump to 12v, not quite but if it's more then a volt under it time to start cleaning connections.

ok if you got v's there the next spot is the decomp controller, pull it off, it's the black box above the carb.  I would tie the clutch pulled (test that dam switch) and the positive lead in the top center terminal (or is it the bottom right?) push the starter and get v's.

I would hazard a guess that if you got v's there and not v's at the relay, it's the decomp controller.

there's more but typin's hard.

Batman....to your point, being MORE clear, this is the second RYCA CS-1 rebuild on this bike. So...because of a new battery box, the battery ground cable will not reach the case bolt as on a stock bike. The ground is connected to one of the brackets of the original battery box mounts, which is RYCA's recommendation...this worked before and was not an issue.

I did attempt to jump the starter using the battery and it did spark, but did not turn over, so it does appear my starter motor is dead. Not wanted to go the route of spending $400+ for a new starter, have a recommendation for a source? Have you ever used DB Electrical? They have a unit that will fit for about $70...

And thanks again for your advice...you have been very helpful, man!

Is the motor free turning?
One could pull the starter to see if it turn on the bench.

USUALLY,, when stuff is working
and someone does something
Like powder coat
AND SUDDENLY,, STUFF DONT WORK

In the process of doing the fine act to achieve some desired outcome
They inadvertently did something they werent actually Trying to do.
Dont go hunting some phantom problem,,
If it was working before powder coating
Betcherass,, Youve somehow allowed powdercoating to get in the way of electron flow..

If INdeed it was Fine BEFORE,, then why would it suddenly not be?
