Do you have spark? Be sure the kill switch is off. Be sure that bike is in neutral and the side stand is up. Check the fuses. Next check the wiring connections, color to color and tight connections? Did the starter button get unplugged? Do the button wires show continuity when the button is pressed?

Let me know what you find. Please rate this answer. Thanks!

be a little more specific , is your battery dead and not enough to turn the starter if the battery is good test your wiring to the ignition and starter when you put the key to start ck to see if you are getting power to the solenoid if so , then your solenoid is bad , you can change it or get a new one , jump it out and see if it starts that way to ck your wiring too,

Bike wont start, something with the Battery circuit or battery, we can push start the bike so the bike does run, I charged the battery and had the battery tested and it tests out fine, when I put in bike...

From your description, it sounds like a bad starter motor. That is provided all of the cables going from battery to relay, and relay to starter are not corroded or have poor connections. The relay is a weak point, so it may be damaged as well if the starter has been pulling too many amps.

Wont start

Check ground wire that usually connects from battery to Starter bolt.
Or at least clean connections at battery terminals

Starters take a lot of Current to turn, bad connections at battery will allow many functions to appear fine but No Crank at teh Starter

2007 kawasaki ninja 650r. when I goto start the bike it makes a clicking sound but wont start. the clicking isnt from the starter it comes from an area by the battery.

Sounds like your hearimg the solinoid clicking, basically it makes the connection from the start button to the starter. It's often mounted right next to the battery as well. Now if your sure the battery is good and fully charged fallow the positive cable from the battery to solinoid, from solinoid to starter motor, and check each connection is tight and clean from corrosion. Also fallow the ground from the battery to the frame check for the same. If all look up to par, jump start the bike from a battery charger or vehicle with cables. If it starts, recheck the battery voltage.

I replaced the starter on a 1999 Chev Cavilier but when I went to start the car the starter kept trying to start the car even though the car was already running. I think i may have crossed one or a couple...

hi, i think you have put the MAIN HEAVY CABLE direct to the STARTER MOTOR on the SOLINOID. this will keep the starter motor running. take battery lead NEGATIVE CABLE OFF the BATTERY, and change the MAIN HEAVY CABLE from the SOLINOID terminal to the other MAIN terminal on the SOLINOID and NORMALLY it SHOULD go with a SLIGHTY (smaller cable this GO'S to the FUSEBOX rest of car POSITIVE FEED). the other small wire is the solinoid START WIRE. the solinoid has 2 circuits the first circuit is HEAVY BATTERY LEAD to 1 terminal on the solinoid. the other side of the solinoid HEAVY CABLE to STARTER MOTOR. this is only 1 side of the SOLINOID (THIS IS A VERY VERY HEAVY SWITCH). the other side of the SOLINOID is the START SIDE (REMOTE CONTACT) of the SOLINOID, by turning the IGNITION KEY to STARTER POSITION, this operates the SOLINOID. this makes contact to run the starter motor. once the connections are done REPLACE NAGATIVE BATTERY LEAD and start the car. gerry

92 FXR bike will not start or even turn over

the starter solinoid is not working if it has an electric start, try kick starting it, if it won't start check the points or the ingiter coil.

Kawasaki zzr600e wont start

If you are not getting the starter to wind after pressing the start switch check these probs.Have you checked the fuses for the ignition switch? Check all fuses. Track the wiring from switch and check all plugs and connections.  Turn ignition on and try clutch starting the bike to see if the motor will run once it is cranked over. If you need to bump it, make sure all your connections and wiring are all making good contact. You must conduct a process of ilimination in order to rectify the fault. good luck.

I have a 93 soft tail, when i try to start it i haer a clicking noise and the bike wont turn over, i took the battery out and charged it over nite, the battery held a charge and the bike still wont start....

If u havn't checked the battery with an ohm meter, do so. If the meter reads 12.50 or higher start looking at your starter. The solinoid would click and a bad starter would nothing. You could try tapping on the starter with a small hammer while pressing the start button. If it starts or at least turns over, u need a starter.
