can anyone answer
i have 1994 herritage. new motor and battery fully charged indicates 13.7 volts at 2000 rpm 14.3. but yet taken for a ride bike wont restart solenoid just clicks
Might be the starter. Had the same issue, but it was very intermittent. Would start fine, I'd stop for gas and then just click. Had to whack the starter with the butt end of a screwdriver to get it to turn over. The dealer finally replaced it under warranty, but it took awhile. Would only happen occasionally, and they could never replicate the problem. New starter, and no issues for 25k since.

Measure it when you hit the start button. I am assuming it won't start at all now, only clicks? Or take it and have it load tested at Autozone.

It could be the relay or an internal short on the solenoid or the starter. If you can remove the starter and have it tested multiple times. (not just once) something is definitely not making a complete circuit. If the starter tests fine then it could be the relay. You can test the relay but you will have to know which pole to energize to get the relay to work. A quick google research will give the instructions.
