    First replace your battery its $100 and if it is older than 2 years old it could have bad cells. Once you know for sure your battery is good then if you are still getting clicking its time to replace the starter. We got them from Spyke.

    Will try that. Is there a rebuild kit for the starter if that is the problem?

    Thanks

    You would need to check with Spyke they have new owners so I’m not sure if they still offer a rebuild service/kit.

    Good point. Not a bad idea to check if the starter is actually getting the Amps via the relay. I had to replace the one of the relay’s on my Banshee too. Mine manifested when I was riding the relay got too hot and I lost electrical power. First the speed went out and then the bike shut down. My relay was pressed against the front edge of the key switch box which was very hot from the rear cylinder. New relay and a 1/4″ rubber spacer solved my problem. — Thanks! –S.
