Hi im trying to get my bike started after winter and i still havent gotten it to start but all of a sudden out of no where theres a strange water drop like sound when i press it. Does anyone know what could of caused this sound

 

Its the starter relay clicking. Basically, the relay is a magnet. When you press the button, the polarity changes and a piece of metal moves up on a rod to make the electrical connection to give your starter motor electric current.

When your battery doesn't have enough juice - all you hear is the relay clicking.

 

If the sound is coming from under the tank it's just the PAIR valve.
