When I went to start the bike all I got was a loud click and then all the lights on the speedometer and the headlight went out (like I blew a fuse). I checked the fuses and they are all fine. I also took the battery in and they told me that it was fully charged. When I disconnect the battery from the bike and then reconnect it the lights come back on until I try and start it again and get the same clicking noise. Where do I start with this problem?

When you hold down the starter, is it a single click or is it a bunch of clicks like a machine gun?

Just a single click

O.K this is weird. While I was checking wires with a circuit tester I put the ground wire on the frame and the pointer end on the positive terminal of the battery. It made a few clicking noises so I took it off. I then tried to start it and it started! It now starts fine on it's own. Problem fixed.....why?

Check your Grounds from the battery to the frame.

Tighten the ground connections. Use of a star washer can also help. Also, sanding off paint from the ground contact point on the frame can also improve this vitally important point. Dielectric grease, or copper based anti-seize, can also be good.
