My road 99 won't start.
Battery is fully charged, but when you hit the starter theres a relay down the back clicking it tits off?
Starter motor won't engage.
Before I strip all the fairings off, and do even more damage - any ideas what that might be?

Try jump starting it before you rip fairings off.
if it starts the relay & starter motor are good.
If not it is most likely one of the 2 above.
If it does start check your charge rate with a multi meter.
That will get you going till the experts arrive on the scene.

Check cable where it bolts to starter motor and earth cable to motor as well. It's bolted to the engine near the starter motor.

Try the battery from your track bike. Battery most probably dropped a cell.

Put the jump start on (of course, it was flat and needed recharging) same problem.
So must be starter or the wiring to the starter.
Thanks guys - I'll give it a serious looking at this arvo!
