Default starting problems

When trying to start all I get is a clicking noise. Have a 2000 Road King Classic and tried to use my buddies 2001 battery to start(maybe not smart idea) with no luck. Not sure if his battery should work. Can someone please help with this?

Was looking around and found a few articles regarding solenoids, might this be a possible problem?

Thanks,

tstaz

Sounds like a dead battery. I know my Sporty take a certain battery and there are so many types for the different bikes that I would charge yours ( I keep mine on a battery tender) and if it is still not staritng take the battery in and have it tested before you look any further.
