    Help Please!

    Okay- I am a huge newb when it comes to bikes. I can do anything with a car, but my '83 GS650GL is my first motorcycle ever. I really like it and have gone through most of it already- recovered the seat, repainted the frame and tank, cleaned up everything.

    MY PROBLEM is that even with the new battery when I have it on and press the start button all I get is a click from the area below my seat. I'm assuming this is the starter engaging but I don't know that for sure. Is there anyone that can tell me why its not turning over? It started when I bought it ( a week ago tomorrow) but I can't get anything out of it now.

    PS I am currently manual-less so I can't look it up in the book.

    Test your starter with some jumper wires if it turns, the problem is between the solenoid and the starter.

    BTW motorcycles have seperate starters and solenoids, unlike cars.
