Any ideas 2008 Pitbull engine wont crank. Battery tested ok bought bike at auction so dont know history. Not sure where to start next. All other electrical accessories work. just wont crank , can hear what appears to be compression release click in when start button is depressed,


I'd start by checking for power to the solenoid.( good strong power) at the green wire with the female spade connector. That click could be the solenoid trying to pull in but doesn't have enough power, I think I would also check the contacts inside the solenoid for dirty contacts. while in there push the plunger in with your finger to see if that does anything. If none of that works, move up to the start relay, if there is one on that bike, as far as the EHC, I'm totally lost on that! good luck!

How'd ya do at the auction Mike? get a fair deal? how's the rest of the bike? Good luck with the starting issue,
I am about to go downstairs and finish it all up, last night only did the right side. 



. How about some more info. You say you bought at auction, have you ever had it running or was it this way when you got it? Start with battery as Carlos mentioned, sometimes they test fine but still don't have enough to turn these motors. If you've never run it, make sure the motor in fact turns to eliminate anything locked up, try push start just to make sure the motor spins, then go from there.
Didn't think of possibility of motor being locked, but wouldn't that make a loud "clunk" if the starter engaged? Still leaning toward low voltage or bad solenoid contacts. Keep us updated Mike and good luck getting er up!
