    I am in need of help. A normal day of riding turned bad. Drove for 50km and had to stop for gas. Filled up and ready to go. Then the bike just won't start. Just making weird clicking noise from under the seat. Had to be trucked back home.
    So I made a short video with the seat removed. The clicking happens when I press the starter. Sounds like a arching or some electrical problem.

    Any help/ suggestions appreciated. (I hope the video opens)

    sounds like to me there's not enough poop, being that's a typical relay sound when it doesn't have enough juice. Do you have a multi meter? time to check standing voltage. from that then you'll know which direction to head. if yo do get it started after say ever adding a battery charger or jump it, to look at also the charging rate. double check the battery terminals too.

    Thanks
    I placed a jump charger on and it started on the first crank. I guess the battery is done for.

    Get it charged up and check the charging. I'm sure I said this elsewhere.
