I am having a problem starting my motorcycle. When I go to fire it up I just hear a loud ticking sound. The wierd thing is that it was running fine then when I took all the fairings off of it (I bought new ones) I tried to start it all I get is a ticking sound. I am wondering if there is some kind of ground that is not connected. Any advice would be great! Thanks!
If using electric start you will hear clicking, if there is a loose connection. also check the Condition of your battery, you might want to try to jump the motorcycle, a weak battery will cause this to happen because when a load is applied to the battery, the voltage drops too low and the relay cannot maintain contact.
If the bike turns over but wont start then you have bad valves or have lost compression
