hello I have a 77 sportster xl 1000,,,,the bike was fine all day then it seemed like the battery was dead ,, checked it was fine I checked the starter it spun fine on the test. then tried to start the bike it sounds like a clicking noise by where the battery mounts ???? could it be the starter relay if so is there a way to test the relay ???????Thanks

 

How did you check the battery?

How did you check the starter?

 

i chkd the battery off my volt tester, the starter i took out of the bike and hooked to my battery charger and made sure it spun, when i put power to it, i tried to jump out the relay and the bike still would not start if i jump start the bike it runs fine so i dont think it has to do with the generator?

 

Fully charge the battery and take it to a shop and have it load tested, an auto parts store will do it for free.

Until you know you have a fully charged battery in good working condition, you can`t effectively troubleshoot an electrical issue.

How old is the battery?

 

the battery is brand new anout a week old .
