SOURCE: wont start
hi anna,, i had one of these babies,, the battery is history sweety,,
if the battery is a new one tho ,, then solonoid needs to be looked at,,
SOURCE: My bike just makes a clicking sound when the start button is push
if it just clicks, firstly hook up jumper cables to battery, if it still just clicks, it will need starter motor brushes.
SOURCE: 1999 Yamaha Vstar 650 Custom ...makes clicking noise when trned
i use a jump box on mine most weekends when i wanna take it out, i hook the red to battery and black onto my exhaust and it fires right up no problem. is the clicking noise coming from the fuel pump behind the ignition? it should click for a few seconds then stop. if it stays on then you are not getting enough fuel outta the tank, change the fuel filter and if bike had been stored for winter get a good fuel system cleaner, additive type. if in USA get Berrymans B12, double dose get bike to run hopefully let it stand overnight and all should be fine. fingers crossed. if is is clicking from somewhere else like starter or a relay by the battery, check all the ground terminals you can find

my 99 v star
SOURCE: my 01 yz 125 wont start with kick start,n loses power in low rpms
sounds if you picked up some water/dirt in fuel when was low
clean fuel bowl and flush carb by drain port if still ruff then remove carb for cleaning
SOURCE: 2004 Yamaha V-Star 1100 Silverado has problems with starting
Sounds like the starter bendix is not engaging the flywheel every time. This will have that whirring sound as the teeth are just outside the flywheel gears.
The starter may test fine but if it is out of alignment just slightly the gears may not be engaging the flywheel. The random whirring may not have happened at the shop. (Thing works fine when you take it to be repaired) :)
Usually adjusting with small washers or shims will often remedy this. But you have to be careful = small changes only!
Check the flywheel and starter bendix FIRST to make sure there are no broken/worn gears.
Hopefully your not hearing that whirring noise then a metal to metal grinding noise. That would be bad.
Good luck!
