Hey Guys, Not sure if its my Battery or if the starter motor is stuffed? I have charged the battery up for a few days on a trickle charger and it says its charged but when I go to start the bike all that happens is a rapid clicking sound. All the lights etc work but won't turn over? Cheers Jack
how old is the battery , if its 4 yrs or more or a bad brand ? , best jump start with a good set of jumper leads then check bike charging system rate with a meter
Battery , charging and the electrical system can be a pain in the arse to diagnose problems if you have'nt got a basic understanding of electrics. The internet is your friend if you want to learn the basics of motorcycle electrics. With all the videos etc, you should be able to save a few bucks and sort out the minor problems that arise instead of taking your bike to a workshop. First off buy a good multimeter. Then when you give your bike a service have a play with the multimeter and check battery etc, and get used to all the figures your getting, volts and ohms etc. I've attached a little info that is basic , if you can understand it , it will get you out of trouble most of the time.
