RE: Newbie mistake, please help!
When my bike runs with little battery (not enough to turn over the starter), it makes clicking and the tach rises. Whats that about?
good luck.

When the startersolenoid dies, the only thing it does is click.
Try jumping the solenoid posts with a screw driver.
Turn the key and bar switch torun, jump the solenoid terminals with a screw driver and see if the starter turns over..
Ifthe starter turns over using thisproceedureyou have a bad starter solenoid.

I would definately get the carbs fixed.... these things really don't like getting put away for long periods of time. The last time I stored mine for 2 months ( with sta-bil) it ran the battery out before it started..... I had to bump start it..... which leads to.... if you want to find out if it's a problem with the starting system or something else just take a few minutes ( or half an hour with crap carbs) and try to bump start it.... get on a hill, with the bike in 1st, pull in the clutch, get a running start, dump the clutch and it should turn over...... good luck
