Well let's start by testing the cheaper, and more common problems here first.

  1. Typically that sound of just the solenoid clicking is a sign of a low battery... if you have access to a multimeter check the voltage across the + and - terminals... i believe (someone else hop in right here) that the voltage to a fully charged batter is either 12.45 or 12.75 volts...

  • No accesss to a multimeter? jump your bike with your car (parents.GF.roomate.stranger)
  • PLEASE MAKE SURE THE CAR IS OFF...everyone is saying that if you jump it with the car on, too many amps blah blah blow a fuse.. never tried it. with the car off is good enough anyways




2. test voltage at the battery side of the solenoid, then again at the side to your started motor (while the start button is being pressed on the control) should be reading ~battery voltage



I highly think it's a low battery though, report back after jumping it

Hey, I have a 2008 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade that currently is not starting. When in neutral and the ignition switch is pressed i hear a click but it doesn't turn over. I can hear the fuel being primed. I've replaced the battery and the Ignition relay as well but it still the same issue. I've checked that there isn't a ground issue and spark plugs were replaced last month.

What would you recommend the next step be for testing? Should I start testing the starter? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you.

Have a look at the starter solenoid, maybe bridge it to see if it will turn the engine

Make sure it is in neutral prior to doing this.
