    Hi guys,
    Charged the battery completely. On first try the engine turned over slowly for just a split second. Now all I get is the rapid clicking. What do you think I should try first?

    Trying to maintain my cool- I just got this bike :mad:
    Thanks!

    ETA: I haven't gotten my new shop manual yet, so extensive procedures are out of the question for now, probably.

    Either your battery is bad and can't handle the load or possible dirty ground wires or hot wire at starter and or solenoid. Check them all.

    Sounds like a bad battery, got a meter? What gen? What size? Pic's or it did not happen.

    You own a Honda ?? You need a multimeter. And a battery charger.
