I put a new battery and a new solenoid on my bike and cleaned all connections. The problem to start with was the bike didn't seem to have the power to start even with a jump. I put in a new battery and it started and ran a dozen times. The solenoid just started clicking even with a jump. I put in a new solenoid and still it will only give me one click the starter won't engage.

Did you try jumper cables ON the battery itself ? Check your ground to frame and if it jump sarts it's time for a new batt...Good Luck to you friend....Tim

If you are hearing a click and the battery and cdi box are good, than it is most likely you solenoid. Try tapping on the solenoid while try to start it. You can also try to run battery cables straight to solenoid to make sure it is not the starter swtich. You can also use a screwdriver and jump it across solenoid terminals and see if it turns over that way.
Double check all cables are clean and in perfect metal to metal contact.

starter is damaged a thing called a throw out gear or somtimes a solenoid pushes a small moving gear into mesh with a larger ring gear spinning the motor over. sometimes just removing the starter cleaning and lubricating it will solve the problem other times it needs to be replaced or rebuilt but you should do it soon fixing a starter is way easier and cheaper than fixing a damaged ring gear and continuing to use the compromized starter WILL damage the ring gear or a very least you're riding a bike that will leave you stranded some where ...after it told you several time it wasn't feeling well :-) starter come off usaly with two bolts CAUTION ...please unhook the battery before attempting this.. no shock hazzard but lots of amps.... burn, melt, cook expensive parts
Good Luck

need to check for voltage at the starter. if no volt meter is available, have someone hold the key in the crank position while you tap the starter with small hammer. if it breaks loose, replace the starter. happy holidays
SOURCE: starter clicking noise, bike won't start
start relay should be checked, if cables are loose or corroded they do not deliver enough power.if jumping the start relay will engage the starter replace the relay.
