Very informative, some duplication but there is some good info to be gleaned from it.

Circuit board in the handle bar controls is bad, or might just need cleaning. Pull it apart, you might just find that it came unplugged.

went in cleaned the white plug looked clean . looked around . put it back together and it still clicks .
the clicking sound come from under the gas tank . is there a relay under there ?

That would be your compression releases clicking. Pull the green wire off your solenoid,and check the voltage both before and as you push the start button. Make sure you pust the run botton before the start button.
 
That is what I thought might be clicking . I put a new starter in. my battery holds a good charge . This has been going on for about year . it might be my computer . I ride the bike . tied of pusing the starter button on starter . I am waiting for Danna to get back to me . might have to go after market wiring kit . Thank you for all your time my brother . ride safe

What ever is wrong with it, I'm sure it's a simple fix. Just need to find it. Broke wire at a plug, or a bad connection somewhere. Rewiring isn't alway the best way to go. Lot more headaches in the long run. Still thinking it's the circuit board. Whats the voltage on the green wire at the solenoid?
 
there is no green wire or solenoid on big dog starter just the black wire battery wire and grout wire. everything else on this bike work ?? .( Thank you so much brother for your help) . I would love to get this working right

Disconnect the battery, then unplug your EHC and clean the plugs. Then put some fresh dielectric grease on them.
 
Thanks . I will try that . I put a jump wire to the battery the to the green wire male end on starter and the starter motor works .I put a new end on the green wire same thing clicks . could it be the ECU computer brain ? you are the Man thanks
 
ok I unplugged Both plugs and cleaned then and blowed off with air put them back on same click . there is a ECU computer on Ebay for $150 should I buy it . its for my bike to see if that work or should I send it to Winchester black to have him check it out ?
