Hopefully someone can give me direction here
When I tested out the starter with the start button, all I got was a click at the solenoid. So I took the solenoid apart and filed/sanded down the copper contacts. Tested it again on the bench and it works. Put it back in the bike and hooked everything up, push the button and it clicks once, no starter engagement and now it sticks.
So I tested just the starter on the battery and it works fine.
Now I'm wondering if the solenoid is bad or maybe I don't have a good ground.
Any other suggestions to test out the solenoid?
Thanks and as always appreciate the comments and advise
