Most likely it is your battery. If it started when you jump started it then the battery was too weak, and it won't hold a charge, so when you park it overnigt it is not strong enough to start the bike. You may have loose or corroded cables and that can lead to a weak battery because it wasn't getting charged like it should. Unfortunatly when bike batteries get that weak they usually need replaced. Unlike a car battery they can't take the punishment of improper charging.

2000kia sportage dash lights comes on clicks but wont turn over changed battery woukd maf sensor keep from tuening tried jumping off still same

Scan vehicle for codes a maf sensor will through a code. I am thinking your starter is bad. The clicking noise is from the starter trying to activate the engine.

Car won't turn on; clicking sound

It does sound like a starter problem but the easiest way to rule that out is by trying to jump start the car with a push , if your starting motor has packed in it will still start with a jump start

Im trying to find my starter and i cant find it... I dont think it is my starter cuz it clicks when i turn the key but wont start. And I tried to jump it and still nothing happened

If it clicks it could also be the starter solenoid. The starter is attached to the bell housing/torque converter housing where the transmission attaches to the engine block. Follow the battery lead, it usually goes straight to the starter solenoid.

I got a 89 bronco II and it wont start. Its got a new battery. I jumped out the starter relay and the starter engaged. So thats good. Also the relay clicks when you turn the key. Also checked the...

Im not sure what you mean by I jumped out the starter relay and the starter engaged.
so i am going to assume that you jumped from the battery side to the starter side on the relay and that engaged the starter... which is fine but you say the relay clicks when u turn the key. Pull off the clip on wire from the relay and push it against the battery side connection on the relay (u may need a small screwdriver to assist the connection) the relay should cause the starter to engage. If it just clicks (my bet) then you need to replace the relay (its really called a solenoid )

96 pontiac sunfire wont start.....

Starter solenoid , or wire that leads to it.

Also , if standard transmission , may be the switch on clutch pedal is intermitant.

Engine won't turn over unless it thinks you have your foot on the clutch.

If you are jumping the solenoid and it cranks but wont start leave the key in the on position and give it a try. Try replacing the solenoid and the wires conecting it to the battery.
