I bought a new battery, and my bike doesnt do a damn thing. i guess watch the video, it explains it better than i can put in words.
thank you
any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated!

 

The loud clicking you're hearing is the Main Start Relay, and it sounds like it's doing its job. What I don't hear is the engine trying to turn over. Can you take off the Pulse Generator inspection cover and check to see if you can actually turn the engine over slowly by hand a few times ? Would like to make sure you're bike is not hydro-locked with fuel. Item #3 is what you'd remove and the bolt, item #14 is what you'd turn in a CW direction to turn the crankshaft a few times.

i would like to add, that i tried push starting it and it would sound like it wanted to start up but not turn over, almost like trying to cold start it. like if it would have been warmed up it would have turned right over

 

I agree with IDD. If the bike turns over freely by hand (please make sure you leave the ignition OFF!!!) than it may be a bum starter or relay.

 

You should check your starter wiring and fuses/connections/grounds. Could it be worn brushes? Do u know how to use a multimeter? My manual says if you hear the click, then apply battery voltage to the starter motor directly and check the operation. If it's normal-poorly connected starter motor cable/faulty relay switch. If it's abnormal - faulty starter motor. IDD, I like how u use the diagrams from partzilla. They have better diagrams out there (navigation wise). What I mean is u can't drag the diagram when holding your mouse button. But, partzilla has the best prices.

 

Hi,

sounds like your starter relay but also the 12V is a point! This seems to be too low, it certainly is for the 1000cc. Did you fully charge the new battery? With no power drain it should read about 13.5+ V.
Can you turn the lights off then try to start it? This will reduce the power drain.

Good luck

 

How long was it sitting before you replaced the battery? Yesterday...or last summer?
It's always helpful to run through the 'just prior' details of the problem.

Does the current drop when you hit the starter switch?

If, as Dirt and the rest have said, you've checked and the motor's not seized,
your issue is in a path from the battery>relay>starter>ground.



Check the lead from the battery to the relay. Set your meter between the relay
post and ground. Do you get current at that point?

Disconnect the starter from the relay.
Set your meter for continuity check.
Hook up your meter to the relay terminals on the starter side (the high voltage side),
hit the switch and see if you have continuity on those terminals.

Check the lead from the relay to the starter, do you get continuity there?

You can try running a hot directly to the starter, to see if it will turn over.
Be sure it's in NEUTRAL! Don't crank it for long, you can burn it up, if you're careless.
Remember, there's no fuse! Make the connection at the starter not the battery, in case of a spark.


Also, check the clutch switch and the side-stand switch.
Pull the wires off each in turn. Check for continuity across the terminals,
when you squeeze the clutch lever or put up the stand.

Hope this helps, Ern
