well i laid my bike over last night...yea it sucked..but just a little cosmetic damage..hit the starter button and it just clicks..everything cuts on injectors, lights, etc. but wont start ...any advice is appreciated..

Check voltage on battery- then check connector for the kickstand and BAS- also, check fuse for starter edit- infact, check the fuse first.

Yeah.....what he said. Sounds like you are not getting enough juice. Also check the battery connections......one may have been knocked loose.

Oh, and stop laying your bike over......it can sleep standing up. j/k.

 

[loewer600]

yeah your right about that..thanks guys

i second this

i checked the fuses on the solenoid and the battery terminals..bas is ok because the fuel pump turns on..the clicking noise is coming from under the seat at the battery..i think it may be the solenoid but how could laying it over fry that?? im at a loss here.

charge your battery bro and it will fire up

The "clicking" is the starter relay under the seat. Check your battery voltage with a multimeter. You need 13.0-13.5v. Anything under 13.0v and the battery should be charged.

ok i havent had time to take the battery off and charge it back up but im going to tonight..if that doesnt work then im gonna try to test the relay switch..thanks for the posts

same thing minus the drop happened with me charging it didnt even help.....had to buy a new one and vrooooooom

if you take it to autozone all they can tell you is how much voltage ours put out. at the time mine read 12.4 which isnt enough apparently its suppose to be 13.(something)

 

[NewRedRider]

tweak, You can see the voltage with a multimeter but the auto parts store should be able to load test the battery for you.

well i work at a honda dealership..just gonna take it to the service dept. and test and charge myself...i just cant afford their 65.00/hr labor rate. even working here i get no discount on labor..just parts.

 

[NewRedRider]

You gotta make some friends over in the service dept. Take a 6-pack with you.

 

[loewer600]

well its been about 3 weeks and i finally had time to try a few things..all i had to do was charge the battery..i dont understand how laying it over would do this but oh well easy cheap fix...thanks for the input everybody.now i just gotta find a cheap rh fairing...

Good to hear. Low battery voltage or a corroded ground can cause all kinds of wierd electrical problems.
