Bad earth. Check the negative and positive terminal for tightness. |

And charge the battery... the loose cables may have prevented it getting a charge from the last ride... How old is the bike? 3-5 years is about the lifespan of a motorcycle battery. |

Batt. should have 12.7 to 13 plus, but that does not mean that it has proper cranking current. And running it should have at least 13.7 to 14.2 volts. I hope this helps. |

bad relay is common diagnosis starts by removing the small wire from the starter. use a jumper wire from the batt positive to the small wire spade connection at the starter motor if it starts get a new relay. if it dosen't .. get a starter. or at least check the connection's integrity. to test starter button connect a test light at the end of the small starter motor wire to see if there is a 12V signal when the button is pressed. Ive seen where the wire lights a test light but not the bike which is also the relay only allowing 11.5V not a full 12. a bypass button is a common fix |
