Ignition problems

I have a 2005 500 sportsman. The battery is good, I've replaced the magnetic relay and I still get a clicking noise when I try and start it. Any ideas where I go from here?

You should do a keyword search on this site for starter problems and you will come up with a few things to check and help you out in the future.

get a volt meter check for the same voltage as the battery at the starter battery cable. or just jump the battery cables at the starter solinoid see if it will turn over. if no go. its more than likly a stater issue.

Mine would only click when I tried the starter, turned out to be a sticking brush inside the starter, I took it apart and cleaned and freed it up, been OK for 3 years now.
