First try charging your battery, if they are low but not dead they will make that clicking sound.

You could of used the last of power to start it the first time and since you didnt run it long, it didnt have enough juice for another start.

Start there anyway [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

ok thanks all give that a try, hmm wonder who i know that has a charger lol, all find one, yeh its just one click

this is wat happens exactly:
Figner hits button
Solenoid goes TICK
then nothing

i also tried crossign the solenoid, like putting a peace of metal from the positive to the negative leads on the solenoid, this usualy works, but it does nothing at all, if i connect a wire to the positive lead that connects to the solenoid and touch the black lead on battery it sparks(like it should) but if i put a wire on black lead that connects to solenoif and touch the red lead, nothing happens, im stumped, lol all try charging battery

 

Make sure your wires on the battery are tight and free of corrosion. Every time my bikes made a tick sound thats what it was.

 

Ok now i figured out it is the starter, because when i hit it with a wrench it turned over haha, so i took it all apart cleaned everything up good..i think... but not sure how to put it back together
