I need help.. my 2007 pitbull has a problem of I believe the connection on the battery becoming loose which causes the bike to just "click" when you try to start it. It has done this one other time and once I got connection tight enough it started. This time it is being stubborn. Any suggestions on how to cure this once and for all. Any help is greatly appreciated.
possible connection issue

Add a star washer to help keep it tight.
Make sure the battery is at a full charge. Check it with a multimeter S/B 12.8V or higher. Might as well check charging when ya get it started S/B 13.8 or higher....

Eliminate the Problem!
After melting a terminal off one battery I did this fix:
Drill all the way through the battery terminal and the lead block.:up:
Put a star washer between every connector and between them and the battery. :2thumbs:
Use a stainless bolt all the way through with a nylock nut to hold it all in place. Oh, and a drop of blue locktite, just in case.
Haven't had any problem since!
Happy Motoring!

That will fix it. I just use a little locktite.

Place the large battery cables +/- next to the battery terminals in the stack.
