I am new to this forum. I have a 2003 Honda CBR 600RR. I am having a problem with starting my bike right now. When I turn the key on and turn the ignition switch on, I see all the lights come on, the fuel pump primes, but when I try and start the bike, it wont turn over. I have the seat removed and when I press the starter button, I can hear the solenoid (the little box behind the battery that has the positive wire going to it) clicking. I pulled the fuse in it and it is good.

Could this little solenoid be bad?

Thanks in advance.

I'm just basing tis on overall bke experience. (I've only had an RR for 3 days, and haven;t had any problems or even finished looking
at the manual.

This sounds about right based on my experience, and saves me from typing a long **** reply.

You could also try the search button in these very forums.

Probably a hundred posts about stuff like this.

Basic mechanical problems like the one you are describing are almost....almost universal problems with all makes and models of bikes.

Good luck.

 

I played around and figured out about the search option. I found a few that were "similar" to my problem.

I went and bought a batter charger, and it had an option to hard wire it to the battery that has a little connection that you can tuck away when your not charghing. I had it on the charger for a few housr and I went and the bike cranked up for me. I guess it was a dead battery. The weird thing is, is that I just bought the damn thing 2 days ago and it was dead when I took it out of the box.

 

What you bought was a "Battery Tender" and you should charge that battery overnight on 2amps.
