Yea, and no sounds what so ever when i attempt to start bike
Well, if it sparked when you jumped solenoid, juice was going somewhere! starter motor could be locked or shorted, but this would drain battery real quick. Pull off starter motor cover - does it feel warm when you jump solenoid terminals a few times? You'll probably have to remove stator cover to investigate any further.

Yea, but wouldnt the solenoid atleast click if the starter was bad? Im assuming the problem is either the starter button wiring, or the starter disconnect switch (clutch lever) Just dont have a lot of time to mess with anything lately

Oh and I feel like a total noob, but where is the starter disconnect switch? I got a Clymer book, but can't find fit in there.
You said it sparked by jumping solenoid terminals- no need for solenoid to click. I suppose the solenoid could be shorting out to ground rather than sending juice to starter, but not likely!Yea, but wouldnt the solenoid atleast click if the starter was bad?

The starter disconnect switch is in the clutch lever- if you don't pull the clutch in, the starter won't work. Lots of us bypass this safety switch as we condition ourselves to start in neutral.
Back to solenoid; take off wire going to starter motor- with bike on centerstand and in neutral, touch this wire to other large wire on solenoid ( the one going to battery), does starter make noise now?

Ok, how is the solenoid supposed to be hooked up? What lines go to which post? I have a 2 post, im assuming thats correct lol Right now I think I have it wrong, one post has the ground, the other has the starter line and the battery line....Should one post be starter, one post be battery and grounded somewhere else???

Fixed the solenoid, and found the lines going to the starter button were not even connected. I touched the yellow/green wire (off the solenoid) and the OJ one (to electrical kill switch and the solenoid clicked ist's ass off. Does solenoid clicking mean starter is bad?
