Title: Clicking noise coming from relay
Post by: dazza on 04 September 2013, 08:30:13 pm

Hello foccer's, bike wont start on the button. Have replaced the solenoid but still wont start unless I bridge the solenoid terminals. Which to my mind eliminates the battery, starter motor and alarm. My next step is to replace the main relay as I cleaned up and sprayed the terminals and it started on the button but now wont, just clicking away. So, has anybody else encountered the same problem and am I barking up the right tree with replacing the main relay. ? Thoughts please. ;) Thankyou.

Try charging the battery first.

Agree with unfazed. 

Never assume anything with battery condition when it comes to troubleshooting an electrical fault.

Cheers fellas. may have wrongly assumed that my battery was ok when I had the same symptoms after jumping it from another battery and the fact that it started when the solenoid was bridged. Battery on charge now {again I should add} and new battery ordered as I suspect this could be the culprit. Thanks for your input.  :thumbup
