Single Click when Trying to Start My 2006
So last Sunday I cranked up my 2006 250r Ninja to warm up. I forgot to set the petcock "ON" instead of fuel. I come back and it's not running anymore of course. I realize I forgot to set it to "ON." No problem.
I try to crank it up, and I get a single click from the right side of the bike. There's no multiple clicks like I'd expect with a dead battery. Just a single click when I press the start button.
The sound, from what I can tell is coming from the starter relay. I've checked the battery and it's at a 12.67v.
*Feel like I should mention this: I've noticed the starter relay is getting pretty hot after a couple of attempts to start the bike...? Not sure if this is normal.
Things I've tried:
1. Charging the battery - the battery stays at 12.7- 12.5v after charge.
2. Complete the circuit from the starter relay with a screw driver - there's absolutely no spark when I touch the two screws
3. replaced the 30 amp fuse on the starter relay - same click when trying to start.
4. Ordered a new starter relay - same single click
5. Tightened the battery connections
6. cleaned the battery connections
The battery is relatively new. I bought it earlier this year. I'm thinking of trying to jump the battery with a jumper pack. But I have no idea what to do now. lol
Please help. :|
