I made this a problem with my bike after a rebuild! Turned out to be a screw on the front starter relay right at the front (cross headed screw) wasnt fully screwed in, hence causing a bad earth and causing the clicking sound to appear to be coming from the relay switch under the seat.
You want to gurantee that it is an earth problem?? Try hitting the subframe with a metal spanner or flicking the footpegs up and down.. youll find it then starts first time!

Peace

might be your spark plug or your jets in your carb need setting or poss could be your choke cause sounds like a fuel problem mate ,if youve sorted it let me know what it was but thats what i would say !!

You probably need to add water to the battery or the battery is getting weak and needs to be replaced. Water should cover the top of the battery plates. Get a 1 or 2 amp trickle charger and charge the battery for a few hours.
The problem may now go away.

If it continues then put a volt ohm meter on the battery and see what voltage is present when revving the engine. The voltage should be about 2 volts higher than the listed battery voltage, as in 6v now 8v / 12v now 14v.
If not, have the dealer check the stator and rectifier/regulator.

Please rate this solution. (four diamonds would be nice) Thanks!

this i think is a headgasket broken, mostly the ring.

1. Battery Voltage. - Key off: between 12 - 13VDC.
2. Key off Amp Draw - At the main fuse: < (less than) 1ADC
3. Key on Amp Draw - At the main fuse: Results will vary because of different loads.
*Note - DO NOT START THE BIKE WITH YOUR METER IN PLACE OF THE MAIN FUSE! Also, if you can not access the main fuse, put your positive meter lead on the red wire at the solenoid, and put your negative meter lead on the positive battery lead. This way you will be able to get your amperage readings AND let you start the bike without blowing your fuse.* Charging amperage should be at least 1 ADC
4. Break even speed - The RPM in which the charging voltage at the battery turns positive - Should be before Idle
5. Charging voltage at the battery - Between 13 - 15 VDC.
hope the above details help.thanks for using fixya.

sounds like no compression,probably need new rings.word of warning never screw this bike from cold they are prone to whats known as cold seizure,always make sure its up to temperature before you give it what for.

14/41 is stock for a full power 6 and 7 speed bike.

Question edited for clarity. A 'carbonator' is a device that adds carbon dioxide gas to liquids like Coca Cola and other sodas to make it fizzy. The word is 'carburetor'. https://www.google.com/search?q=Cagiva+Mito+125.+Carburetor+and+hose+diagram ..

Yes the CDI unit, the sensor that makes it fire or bad wiring connections even to the ignition switch and kill-switch..https://www.google.com/search?q=Cagiva+canyon+500++weak+and+intermittent+sparkI found a Service Manual but it is in Italian!https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1054149/Cagiva-1997-Canyon-500.html#manual..

You have written some conflicting information. How can you know that your engine has no spark if it will not turn over? No problem, please write back and elaborate on its issue, symptoms, engine codes and things you have checked and tested so far. At this point I would start looking around. Inspect the battery and power distribution box. Check that the battery connections are clean and tight. Check that the ground cable, going to the body panel is clean and tight. Check all the fuses for damage (over heating or corrosion) and the same for the relays. Is the antitheft system working (does it recognize your ignition key?)? When you turn the ignition hey to the RUN position. Does the gauge cluster respond like it always does? Do you see the lights come on and go out and can you read the odometer mileage? Please write back and let me know. Good Luck.

Remove the side cover so you can have access to the stator. Then you will be looking for a notch on the inner case. Once you locate the notch you will line up the stator ( which also has a little line or notch on it ) with that notch.
