Default Harley starter problems.

Having a problem with starter cranking. All I get is a fast repeating clicking sound. Any ideas on what it could be. Changed starter and relay.

Check battery,and your connections.its not getting enough power to the starter.take your battery to auto parts store and have them load test it.

could be flat spotted. Try tapping the starter with a wrench a few times

Sounds like a dead battery to me.
