Hi there, I got a kawasaki z900 2017 and it has been a great winter rider, has once left it outside with the cover on for over a week and still started right away. However, it is not the case today. so basically I was about to swap the windscreen, and before I did anything I started the bike just to make sure the battery is still good. I let it run for roughly 30 minutes and had a cup of coffee, then turned it off and did my windscreen job. During the process, I lost my Allen key so I wobbled the head a couple times while it was off and on the stand, nothing too harsh. After I am done, I realized it won't start. The first time, the display is partially on with no meters but only engine/gear indicators on, and I can hear the airy sound from the engine, but it won't start. So I pull off the key, and repeated the process. This time the display is good, but the starter relay is making a continuous clicking sound. Tried to bridge the two ends of the relay and hope I can cheat the system, no luck. Key off/on another time, the relay doesn't make noise, but a slight clicking noise is generated from the terminal, pretty much the same as the sound of when the turning indicator is on. Can someone tell me what is going on with my bike? is the battery discharged or dead? is the relay bad? is the connector loose? or is it something else? Please help me!!! Thanks a lot!!!
While it is possible there is bad battery connections or a relay your description is typical of a discharged battery or likely a battery with a bad cell.
Remove and charge the battery and hope that is the end of your problem but if it isn't, replace the battery.

Take a good look at the rear bumper area and wiring around it.
There are recorded cases the bumper bracket is cutting into the fuel pump and fuel level sending unit.

Hi,
Sounds like the solenoid relay is stuck up and shorted your starter!
Better check the starter, pull it down and look if the bendix drive is still intact, upon driving and engine is running the bendix drive is still engage, thus it might have broken and loosen up.
If you can't repair it, a mechanic can certainly repair it, hope that bendix drive is still okay, if damage is already done, just replace that part.
The solenoid that gives power and pushes the bendix drive is at fault, better check that too, it is the first one that malfunctioned and damages the bendix.
Hope that helps you out!
thanks for using FixYa!
