i own a 2002 yamaha yzf r6....i was placing new flushmount turn signals on it and i dont know if i left the key turned on too long or i hooked the wires up backwards and it messed up something....when i turn the key to the on position it clicks alot and when i go to hit the start button it just buzzes...any ideas on what that could be?....do i just need to give it a jump?....ive already taken the flushmounts back off to see if it would start without them hooked up.....please help!

just a dead battery, if you hook the wires up backwards your lights would still work

1st off: if u value ur electronics, do not try to jump start the scoot....especially off a car.
2nd: u have a battery that's too low of juice to crank the starter. under 9.6 volts, it just doesnt have the balls to swing the flywheel, and hooking up a voltmeter between the 2 battery posts and hittin the starter will confirm this.
if the voltage reads good, and it dont drop much under 12.6 volts, check ur grounds and other electrical connections.

Take a volt meter, put the leads on the battery, a fully charged battery will read 12 to 12.5 volt, take a reading while your starting, it should read around 9 volts, if it drops below get your battery charged if it only drops half a volt or so you have another problem.

You should clean your battery posts first then give it a jump. The clicking noise is the starter trying to turn over but not getting enough power.

Charge the battery, then get back to us.
What clicks? What buzzes? When?
How many sounds do you really have?
All important when I can't see or hear it myself.

Sounds like it's either low on juice or it could be dead. Try charging it.

more than likely its the battery, sometimes it can be the starter or alternator. Try givin the motorcycle a jump, if that doesn't work call a mechanic
