Clicking in the Solenoid of my 200cc Motorcycle?
Okay I recently bought a low cc motorcycle to get me started on the road. But I have this clicking coming from my solenoid rapidly, turning signals work, but when I try cranking it, it tries to crank for 1-2 seconds then the solenoid clicks rapidly. I replaced the battery, and checked a couple of connections but still no better. Should I replace the solenoid? Would it be a spark plug problem? Is there a relay that may need replacing? And I am hoping it's not the starter, right? Anyone know what to do? Is it the starter relay? or could it be the Starter button? Please and thank you.

get your battery fully charged rapid clicking is a sure sign of a flat battery
turn all lights etc off before trying to start it

Always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions. We need all of that info to give an informed answer.
A defective starter solenoid will constantly click like a machine gun when the start button is pressed.
Replace the starter solenoid (the (+) battery cable goes to it).
