Help! Ninja 650 won't start............?
2006 Ninja 650 has been in the garage for about a month. Had the battery on a battery tender and fully charged. Connected the battery today but when I start it it just makes a screeching sound. The same sound a car makes when the starter is bad. The bike has less than 9000 miles. Could the starter be bad? What else could it be?

Anything is possible. I would tend to think something is jamming the starter or the starter clutch-dust, dirt, debris something. Hence the starter can't turn and you get the horrible noise. The best thing to do is TEST. Test the starter and starter relay. It is possible that the starter has damaged windings. Only testing will prove one way or the other what is wrong.
