Why do I hear clicks when trying to start my bike?
Learned from Harley Dealer to never jump bike with vehicle running. It’s too much juice. When trying to start while hooked u to started vehicle, head light was strong implying it should start, but not the case. Instead I just heard rapid clicking sound. Thought it was starter or solenoid. Very loud. Put new battery in and started right up.

Clicks when trying to start does not engage. I have a Harley-Davidson 1999 sportster 1200. I get a hard fast clicking sound when trying to start. I Have put the battery on a charger and let it charge overnight. It still does the same thing. Is this a bad battery?

What does it mean when your car makes a clicking sound?
A clicking or clattering sound while in motion may also indicate a primary drive chain in need of adjustment. A mechanic’s stethoscope can help pinpoint the location of a new, troubling sound. Locating the precise source of some engine noises can be tricky, but very helpful in sorting out what needs to be done.

Why does my car make a clicking noise when I start it?
You would probably be right. That dreaded clicking noise can usually be traced to the battery, and the fix could be as simple as a jump-start or tightening a cable. Just one click, though, probably means the fault lies with the starter motor (more on that later). 1. Battery Drained

What does it mean when your bike won’t start?
I checked my starter as per bobf, jumped the connection where the positive battery cable connects and the one where the solenoid connects to starter motor, and the starter whines- so my contacts must be on their way out. I’m guessing that’s what that means.
Why does my bike make a clicking noise when I start it?
This post is to explain what the noise is and why it happens. The starter motor on a bike uses a lot of power to turn the engine. The starter button cannot handle the current that the starter draws from the battery so a large electric switch called a solenoid is used.
What should I do if my bike wont start?
Charge the battery or replace it if it’s dead. Am easy way to test your battery is by checking the voltage-drop with a multimeter as you try starting the bike. If your fully charged battery drops below 11,5 volts under load (while you crank the starter), it needs to be replaced.
Why does my Harley Davidson bike not start?
The battery was fine itself however, the battery was a slightly different size than the Harley battery. This would cause it to shift in the battery housing and cause a poor connection. Then the bike would drain on battery non stop. Thanks for all the help!
What does it mean when your ATV won’t start?
The solenoid should make an audible “clicking” sound each time you hit the starter. If it does, you know it is getting power, and the problem is likely with the solenoid itself or possibly the starter.
