Heading to work this morning my bike died, pulled over and click click click. I have serched the entire forum and read alot about the dreded click mine has busted off twice but dies. does this click of death usually cause the bike to die or do i have something else going on

battery is fully charged and have cleaned all connections just the dang dying is throwing me for a loop

Thanks for any input

 

Usually the bike dying is caused by one of two things; no fuel or no spark. Assuming you had fuel we will explore the "No Spark" theory. The most common cause is a loose battery connection, either positive or ground, besure to check all of the battery connection both on the battery and on the frame, and starter. Next is the main fuse or circuit breaker. When checking remember the connection at the wire/connector may be tight but could be corroded so there is extra resistance, so do a voltage drop and resistance tests on all wires and connections. Is your system charging properly and does the battery pass a draw down test?? Lastly is the starter circuit, this includes all the grounds, plus the circuit breaker/fuse that supplies power to it, the ignition switch, kill switch, starter button, solenoid and starter, plus all the wiring in between all of these. If you do this you will find your problem.
P.S. Are the lights on and do they dim when you hit the starter button??

 

Model and year?

The click is not what caused the bike to quit running.

Whatever caused the bike to quit running (lack of electrical power) is also causing the click.

As miacycles said, you must first be sure the battery is in good condition and fully charged, and then perform a charging system check (after verifying all electrical connections are clean and secure of course).

 

in the event that the battery not just died but also got shorted inside, its resistance would be very small, so it will drain all the power to itself and will cause the bike to die

 

my money is on te Bat!!DRaw test..

 

It's already been said! You need to spend some time tracing the wiring and checking connections through the entire ignition system. Electrical problems like this are often mechanical, in other words poor connections, etc, which when found are pretty obvious and usually easy to put right.

 

check all of your grounds

 

sorry for the late response and thanks for all the advice found a broken wire on the voltage drop runs like a champ again !!!!!!!!!
