Stator that produces power - doesn't turn, the rotor turns with the cranckshaft around the stator.

Starter that turns the motor over - has a solenoid .
First check that the battery is fully charged and the cables are tight then check the fuse in the top of the solenoid, if there isn't one then check the inline fuse that goes to the solenoid. replace if bad. start it.
Second if the fuse is good , jump the solenoid with a screwdriver or two and see if the starter turns over. if it does then your solenoid is bad. replace the solenoid. start it
if it doesn't turn over, remove the starter and have it bench tested, if it is bad, replace starter.

If the starter is good then.......

Put the bike in 5th gear and try to push it and see if the motor turns over.
If it does, try to start it again with the starter. i had an old Goldwing that was sitting and the starter couldn't turn the motor over until i broke the motor free.

if you cant break the motor free, its seized.

I beleive that its either the fuse or solenoid.

Starter is loose

I don't understand what you are trying to say. If the key turns all the way to start and nothing happens, you probably have an ignition switch failure

New stater, stater still makes clicking sound

First you should check to make sure the engine is not locked up by turning it over manually. If you can turn the engine manually, then check your battery terminal ends to make sure you have good, clean and tight connections. Typically, a faulty electrical connection is the main culprit that will cause your situation. If you still suspect a faulty connection, try having someone turn the ignition key while you wiggle the battery cables to see if it will try to start. This should help you narrow down the problem area.

My stater turns on without turnning the ignition switch

you should replace the ignition switch. I had that problem with one of my vehicles. replaced the switch and lock and it worked just fine after that. Have them check the starter though because having it keep running like that can do damage to the starter itself

Turn the ignition, car won't start. new starter

Hi, First thing have you checked to see if you have power at stater. You can take a test light to see if you have power on stater, if not check battery connections and make sure you have a full charge battery,if all this check out OK have some one to turn ing.switch while you take your test light to the small wire on starter solenoid to see if you getting power from switch. If no power on line could be starter relay or check and see if it will start in netural, if so you would need to check netural safety switch mounted on side of transmission. If i can help you anymore just re post
