Solenoid wire disconnected, start button pressed, relay clicks (normal)

Solenoid wire connected, start button pressed, bike power drops.

Defect in starter solenoid body or motor, or the battery has no poop.

Post #23 OP states he had the battery load tested and it's good.

I didn`t mean the battery was bad, I said it had no poop.

I meant it had no power...the guy has been playing with this for many days.

No I'm not saying that. I just pointed out at one time he actually had it tested. I still think it's the solenoid. And you may very well be right about the battery now being low.

No worries. This has been painfully long and these like this can be hard to keep up with and frustrating for everyone trying to help. I've been following and trying to stay out of it! LOL!
