Won't Start
83 850GL - Battery has full charge according to the meter and even put a jump assist with a charger and all that happens is a clicking sound coming from the left side panel. I'm guessing the started solinoid either got stuck or just went south. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advanceTags: None

You can bypass the solenoid by laying a screwdriver across the two connection's on it,if it start's you need a new one.
You dont need a Suzuki part, whatever is cheap and fit's in there.

If you jump the solenoid and get nothing start looking at the connections at the starter. I had the brushes in my starter go out completly a month after I got my bike. I was thinking my battery was going bad until I realized it was the starter.

Replaced my brushes about two months ago and Stockers is the way to go. Great price and fast service!

Damn new starters are expensive. I bought new brushes and the plate thingy lol for 40 some bucks. I worked at a machine shop at the time so I took the armature in and turned the brass contact surface down on a lathe. Im cheap I guess. LOL
