2002 Road King,won't start.

2002 Road King, tries to turnover once and then I get a bunch of clicking and of course it doesn't start. Any thoughts?

Judging from those symptoms I'd say it's gonna need a complete engine rebuild, wheel bearings, a tranny and clutch rebuild and swing arm bushings. The brakes might be ok. I'll take it off your hands for $100.

Make sure the connections are tight at both ends of battery cable. I replaced my battery with those symptoms, didn't work. Had it towed to an Indy. At first he thought it was a bad starter, turned out to be a loose positive ground. I didn't know how to reach it.

Maybe some of these smart people could tell you how to check the starter connections, instead of busting your *****.
