Just had an interesting one come in. A 961 clicked with the button a few clicks but wouldnt turn over. The owner figured battery was dead. Put on charge for an hour. Nothing. Over night lit gauges but wont turn over. He pulled the tank. battery wont hold a charge. He got a new battery. Bike wont turn over but gauges lit.
After 2 weeks of frustration he brought it to us.
Ended up the starter solenoid welded in the closed position and dead short with the key on.
We were able to use our ONE07 solenoid tool and replace and SET the contacts without removing the starter. Bike was up and running in less than one hour. Owner bought the tool with the three spare contacts. Incase this happens to his harleys or Norton again.
Keep this story in mind if ever you experience a similar issue.
