i have a 05 honda cbr 600rr, it has 20k miles on it, when i went out to go for a ride, (its been three months) went to start, battery is dead, charged it for 12hrs on trickle, put it back in and it made clicking sounds. thought it was the battery still so i jumped it off my truck but still the clicking. i have no idea whats going on any help would be great!!

 

first thing u gonna do is drain the gas in the 4 carbs and put a rags underneath the carbs when u open it after that choke it then hit the start broommmmmmmmmmmmm..............

 

Disclaimer: I know little about electric start bikes, but I know plenty about automotive motors.

If this were a car, and I assume you have the same, but smaller, components to your ignition system as on a car or truck, I'd tell you the clicking sounds are your starter solenoid working, which means your starter is pooched.
If you can reach it, lean in and give the starter a gentle massaging nudge with a hammer, this will often get you a few more starts out of a dieing started.
Again, I don't know bikes yet, I'm here to correct that lack of knowledge, but that's how it works with cars.

 

lol if it is making clicking sounds and you had a previous battery problem, it means:

your battery is either dead or discharged.

I am 100% sure since you say you hear clicking when you 'push' to start


You already tried charging it back up but if that dont work then get a new battery and it should be fixed no problems




The two kids above me are smoking something

 

Step 1: Take the battery to Autozone and have them test it. (usually about an hour process)

Go from there... I'm with jpan in guessing that's your problem.

 

nice to know not everyone is crazy. ty chuck but PLEASE tell zero not to:

"lean in and give the starter a gentle massaging nudge with a hammer"

or

"drain the gas in the 4 carbs and put a rags underneath the carbs"



for sure the bike will like a massage but she wont thank you by starting.

And God KNOWS the guy talking about the carbs ACCIDENTALLY posted in the wrong thread. He was supposed to click the "Won't start after winter storage" thread.

i still love you guys

 

i misunderstood about clicking , u mean never fire?

 

Raiden, he means that the bike doesn't have carbs.

Clicking is battery or bad ground... it's too new a bike to think ground right away.

Also - if you tried to jump it off a truck, check your fuses.
