ok i was in a group ride today and 1 of the fellow riders stalled and went down and hurt his already hurt rist so turned around and stoped to see if he was ok and erything which he was, but when i went to staart the bike back up it would not start,when i tried to start it it made this weid clicking noise,could it be a short somewhere in the fuses or just that i have a dead battery, because when i did a push start in 2cnd gear and poped the clutch it will start and run but when i turn it off and try to just turn it on regularly it wont start
please help, MY BIKE IS MY ONLY WAY AROUND!!!! i hope its just the batteryi can barely go a day without ridin
Sounds like a battery connection is loose.

yup... loose battery connection or weak/dying battery. The clicking is most likely the starter solenoid. The current isn't strong enough to keep the solenoid engaged so it's bouncing back & forth between connected & disconnected.

pick up a battery tender/charger while you're at it if you don't have one already.

Check battery fluid levels if it's a wet cell type.
A battery tender or trickle charger is ideal for charging a weak battery.
It is likely a dead/weak battery.
If you jump it as in booster cables and it starts fine then battery
If you find someone with a volt meter then check for charge etx
espescially that your not overcharging "cooking" the battery while its running
When you rev or idle does the headlight get brighter ?

yeah the bike started with a jump
If that's the case, once ya got it running, test the charging voltage. If your alternator is GOOD, it oughtta be feeding a typical 12.8-14.5 or 15VDC to the battery, which will keep a GOOD battery charged. If your connections are good, clean, tight, and gooed against corrosion and it STILL won't start the bike, buy a new battery. If you ain't gittin charging voltage, yer scrood. Me, I'd rather it was a bad battery, but if it turns out the battery is bad, alternator good, don't ride around by jump-starting the bike, it's hard on the alternator to constantly be trying to keep up with a dead battery..
Ya hear me???![]()
o i jumped in e morning, i rode aroun for aboug a good 3 ours,sine den,bike as been firing up perfely,i been riding all day and go suk in da rain lol
After seeing the last post, don't run the bike in the house
Volt Ohm Meters are like $10 at Walmart a tool everyone should have
