my bike wont start even though the battery is charged and i have enough fuel?

Question

the only thing i get is a clicking sound

Answer 1

well its either a dirty contact,broken cable or the solenoid is broken.

the click happens when the battery tries to fire the solenoid which locates on the bendix, and shoots againstthe flywheel or starter ring.

clcik clcik click, whirrrr, usually means the battery isnt holding a charge... you should be able to bump it, and itll run ok. but all you really need is either a new battery, or tighten up the leads between the battery and the solenoid.

to prove it, turn the ignition on, and short the solenoid terminals with a screwdriver or spanner.. if it whirrs, its either the solenoid itself or the activating switch.

its just a process of elimination...

Answer 2

Your fuel might gone bad if it sat for a long time, replace it. Also, check your filters, it might be clogged.
If it's battery related, and it sat around for a long time. Just replace the battery for new. What happens, if you don't disable your battery without use, the battery voltage will decrease with time. Rule of thumb, if your electrical system is clean and maintained properly, you need to still have charged the battery every 90 days, per any battery manufacturer. Also, if the battery looks good without load, the minute you start your bike a load will come across the battery, which can breakdown the battery voltage. Take your battery to a Battery Warehouse near you or Advance Auto store and they'll check it out for FREE! Other than that, it will be corrison in the wires of the bike.

Answer 3

The battery should stay charged. Measure voltage with the engine running; should go up to 14.5V. Then disconnect a battery terminal and connect an Amp meter in series, i.e. one lead on the battery terminal that is now disconnected, the other on the lead you just took off. With ignition off there should be zero current flow. If you have a few mA showing, something is drawing current. Maybe a brake light staying on due to a badly adjusted switch, or a running light staying on.

Answer 4

If your bike won't start, try the following options:-
1. check on the starter solenoid system. It could be faulty
or jammed;
2. check also the spark plug, which may be dirty and needs
a new replacement;
3. check also on the fuel line. It could be dirty and block the
fliters to prevent the engine from starting.
If all this failed, then send it to a good mechanic for full check-up.

Answer 5

the clicking is the solenoid, put your lights on if they go off when you try start it its the starter motor as a stuck starter motor will pull the power down. if lights stay on look for a faulty connection say main power from solenoid to starter or ar the starter don't forget you also need a good earth,
your bike should bump put in gear have ignition on push then let clutch out should fire up.
if you turn ignition on then disconect the nutral wire, then short the solanoid side to earth the starter should go if it doesnt its the starter side.

Answer 6

Starter check your ground wire too some times bad connections make the clicking usually just tightening up some bolts on the batter will help that, after that step thenyou need to check the batter or the selanoid.

Answer 7

If your only getting clicking sound seems like your battery leads are not connected properly clean poles on battery and clean terminals. if no help check starter motor

Answer 9

That's your starter solenoid. You may have a fault with your starter motor, or the starter clutch may be seized. Try a bump start. This may be a stupid question, but - have you checked the kill switch?

Answer 10

ur bike have choke to pull? or sit & try to shake ur bike. maybe something wrong in the fuel line or the carburator is too cold.
