Dyna won't start, just clicks! Battery good!
I went out to start my bike a few days ago after sitting for a few weeks. Battery works but it makes a loud clicking sound when I try to start her up. Could it have something to do with the starter? I'm trying to avoid towing her over to the stealership. 2003 Dyna Low rider. Recently had handlbars installed with extentions....if that helps

Dont throw the starter out with the bath water. If it is the starter it would be the solinoid contact plate and it would just need some filing. Check the relay's and the fuses. One step at a time. Here's a break down of the starter:

Check your connections. Frounds can come loose from the engine. I would check Ground to engine, then battery terminals, then tap the starter with a rubber hammer or...what ever. then Id put it in gear and rock it back, put in neutral, then back in gear and rock it back wards...back to nuetral....turn the key. If nothing, I would push it down the driveway and pop the clutch. If you can do that let it run. Take a volt meter to the battery, revi it up and see if voltage climbs.
This will sheck your stator and battery. If you replace the battery and have a bad staor you will waste money on batterys

By what you are describing, Im betting your battery is the problem. You can charge a battery all you want, if it has a dead cell in it your not going to be able to keep it charged. My 03 dyna original battery took its last charge two years ago bike was doing same thing not enough power to turn engine over but all lights and other electronics were working fine and bright. I personally put another Harley battery in as replacement of old one, but Im sure that you can save a couple pennies elsewhere if you shop around

Start at the beginning and work from there. Assuming stuff can get really expensive, really fast.

If the battery is bad and you jump it them you know it's not probably not the starter, stator wiring , ignition switch, ignition..etc....narrows it down to battery and or battery cables connectors.
Then take the battery to Autozone or Advance auto to have it load tested.
