No Crank
Hey fellas. I've recently tried to fire up my Ninja, well try is the key word here... After sitting since Dec I try to start it, obviously the battery is dead and I get the relay click and the solenoid whine, well I charge the battery, nothing, I jump it, nothing... I thought at first my starter failed but that isn't the case, when I jump the Starter to the batter the bike runs like a champ... My only real question is is the solenoid toast? I don't hear it whine anymore but still nothing happens, I'm able to ride but having to rig to ride isn't my favorite thing.. What are yall's thoughts?

Not sure, try jumping across the posts on the top of the solenoid.
If it cranks and starts, could be solenoid is toast. If nothing happens when you jump out the solenoid, then make sure ALL CONNECTIONS ARE CLEAN AND TIGHT, CHECK ALL FUSES AS WELL, then test again. And better plan on buying a new battery, and also get a battery tender too, while your at it, and read up on proper motorcycle storage. Did you treat the gasoline before storing the bike? If not I see a carburetor cleaning in your future as well.

I hope that's it... It's an easy repair... I wonder why it failed, Solenoids are pretty simple, no? Electromagnet and a contact? I hear the relay in the Junction box click but nothing more than that... Anyway I'm going for a ride, starter button or not.
