hello have a 2008 road king battery has good voltage and when i got to start it will not turn over. it may engage the starter but kicks out and does alot of clicking. any suggestions would help. or just take it in??

 

You say it has good voltage...

I bet it doesn`t.

Charge the battery and have a shop load test it (auto parts stores will do this for free).

Simply testing voltage between battery posts with a voltmeter does not tell you the condition of the battery.

 

will do originally had it load tested before winter and said it was good 2 out of the 3 shops i had test it will charge it and try agin the battery is only 7 months old. will get back with you in a day or so thanks

 

Inspect the cables closely, especially at the crimped connectors for the post connections.
Even bend the cables somewhat to verify the integrity inside the insulation.
If the battery load tests good, check with a voltmeter across the battery terminals WHILE starting is taking place.Too much voltage drop would indicate a starter or solenoid is going awry.
I chased one on my '07 RK Classic and found it to be the points in the solenoid would intermittently make good connection to permit power to the starter.
Found it by tapping on the solenoid while starting and points weren't making and it started. I now carry a cut off hammer handle in my tool bag and it hasn't done it again,thru many,many starts, since having the proper tool in the bag..... go figure.

 

Hey had a good charge and spun right up after I shut it off volts at 12.3 tried agin and would not crank just hit and clicked. Tested voltage when trying to engaged dropped way down to like 6.4 but would still not start. So something going on in starter i assume.

 

Assuming is no way to troubleshoot an electrical issue...

Have the battery load tested. Until you know you have a fully charged battery in good working condition, you cannot troubleshoot.

 

Hey Thanks for info. will check battery tomorrow. Yea hate to assume.

thanks
