[Fade 2 Black]

Went out to ride to work today and the starter wouldn't engage, just clicking of the relay/solenoid. I tried it several times, turned it off and back on, hit the lock/unlock and still nothing. I'm taking it in tomorrow for warranty.

When you turn on the keyswitch, do you hear the fuel pump briefly running and then shutting down like normal? If not, did you check the position of your "kill switch"?

Hope this helps, Kirk.

Check your battery connections. Sounds like your battery is dead. Did you leave something turned on? Otherwise the battery may be history. The battery on my 02 failed when it was only 3 months old.

A very common fault for the symptom is loose connections at the battery. Check that first. It seems that they just put them on finger tight or just with a screwdriver. They never get them snugged down properly.

I tried the kill switch, didn't leave anything on. I'm just gonna take it in as there are some other warranty issues to address. The rear seat heater knob is broken (the spring detent), one of the display buttons is getting finicky and the turn signal switch seems to be going south as well. I appreciate all the help.

It won't even click if the kill switch is off. Bad relay, bad connection, or weak battery.

I had EXACTLY the same thing, battery connections were loose at the battery (from the factory)
Cleaned and tighted up , no more problem.....

I don't know for sure, but I would bet it was loose from the Dealer Prep, not the factory. :wink:

My negative terminal was barely finger tight from dealer prep. Found it when installing the battery tender harness.
