Bike wont start (650 maxim)

Left it sit over winter and now it wont start. Just the clicking noise is heard. Changed out the starter solenoid. New spark plugs, petcock is running gas correctly. Pretty sure the fuel lines aren't clogged.
I think my next option is to clean the carbs and get new jets?


Also since my bike is shaft drivin do i have to get certain types of wheels? Im looking for more sporty ones.

 

Make sure the battery is fully charged. If I haven't started mine in over a week it usually doesn't start. An hour on the battery tender gets it every time. Cleaning your carbs won't effect anything if the engine just straight isn't turning over.

There are only a few types of wheels that actually work on these bikes, and I think they are all 650+ seca/maxim wheels. Maybe some xs/xj1100 wheels? There are some others on here that know for sure.

 

Well ive tryed jumping it with another bike but no luck. Just the clicking noise still.

 

Bad connection either the earth or the starter relay.

 

earth?

 

Earth = ground.

 

Alright. Ill have to check out that advice and get back at you guys. If any other ideas let me know.

 

First Check the charge state of the battery (is it fully charged?). 12.8V is where you should be. Next determine if 12V is getting to the starter. Lift the boot and check for voltage when you engage the starter button. Work upstream from there. Solenoid, starter button, ignition switch, fuse box... you get the picture I hope.
Because you hear a click, I'm assuming (bad habit, I'll try to keep it in check) that you are seeing voltage through the starter button but you fail to mention that you ensured your battery was charged up. If the battery is drained, you will get the results you are experiencing. Follow Alaskazzr's advice and get it charged. If the battery sat over the winter and is more than a year old, you may need a new one, start saving now either way,
