Default Bike wont start today?

I went out to hop on bike to leave for the day and it turn over but sounds like a chatter/clicking coming from it and wont start. Its a 2011 SB and Ive never had a issue with it before this.

I think your battery is just low and your connectors need tightening.

My 2011 alsways started but took a lot longer then usual. I tightened everything up and bought a nice charger at wal mart for 19.97 that already had the connector that plugs into our bikes. I let it charge up and no more issues.

Something about the newer bikes...harder to start when the battery is low

Have the battery load tested then you can rule that out of troubleshooting.
