Try to start it and there is one click through the relay then nothing.
A LOUD single click, sounding the the started is initally engaging and then does nothing?....that would be a bad starter clutch.
Is it a fairly loud rapid clicking noise like a machine gun?....that would be low battery CURRENT to starter, faulty battery.
Is it a quiet single click?....that would be a bad starter relay
It has one quiet click and sounds like it is coming from the relay its mounted in front of the rear tyre behind the oil tank. Does it sound like I need to replace the relay.
You could try removing the relay from it's socket and cleaning the contacts, but it that doesn't work, the relay's about $10 from the dealership.
It's not the relay I tried starting it again and the solenoid gets hot but the starter motor won't crank I tried to jump it with a screw driver still didn't do anything only sparked I'm guessing its my starter motor that is the fault does it sound like I'm on the money

SOURCE: Bike won't start/clicking coming from starter relay
Have you tried charging the battery or jumpstarting it with another battery?
SOURCE: 06 s83 won't start. Rode for 70 miles, parked in
replace your battery although you have 12 volts your battery is producing very little amps not even enough to energize your start relay let alone your starter motor
SOURCE: Press starter button then a crackling, clicking sound in Relays
You might first try and (jump) the starter at the starters bendex. To do this you could use a jumper wire or a screwdriver if you know what you are doing... (jump or connect together) the one (thin) red wire leading to the back of the starters bendex and the one (thick) cable also leading to the back of the starters bendex...being careful not to "ground" your jump wire or screwdriver to the bikes frame!!!... "Make sure you are in neutral"!!! ...Turn the ignition to the on position. You may have to engauge the start button at the same time you jump these leads. If your bike still clicks instead of turns over/starts.. Either the battery is not up to snuff...try boost starting from off you car or truck to determine this if you do not have the proper battery test equipment: (or) there is a loose or corroded connection. It is possible the connection at the starter button also is crusty. To clean your connections well, "You must first disconnect the negative terminal at the battery"!!!... Clean all the contacts/connections the same way using an electric contact cleaning spray (that evaporates) and a med-soft bristle brass wire brush. You really should start from the battery to the starter and also the starter button if accessible. A light wipe over from a clean cloth sprayed sparingly w/a light oil or silicon afterwards on all cleaned areas should keep them being that way again till next year if your bike is ridden in fowl weather often and/or left out in the elements. I find it hard to believe that all the relays went out simultaniously!!!...It is almost impossible. Guzzi-Guy

Charge battery to full, start in neutral, still clicks? Bad ground, or bad connection. Jump starter solenoid with screwdriver,etc. if motor turns over the relay is bad. Chaz Moto DC

Place a volt meter on to the starter side of the relay, It should show 12v or more when the button is pressed, The clicking can be low voltage, so make sure the battery is good and all cable connections are clean and tight. If you put the volt meter across the battery and it drops below 12-11.5 volts when you hit the start button it is probably the battery
