starting problems

[chops]

hi i have a 05 ridgeback and i went to go riding and the bike had very low cranking power so i put it on the charger overnite and still all i get is a clicking noise from the starter and i then kept pushing the start button and then it started to crankover and nothing again but the clicking it has bring lights but im thinking its the starter. So if u have any ideas let me know thanks

I would start with replacing the battery. That seems to be the most common reason for starting problems and the cheapest part to start with, I need a new battery also, I have been shopping around and you can get a battery from any HD shop for around $100.00

How old is the battery? Have you load tested it? Start with a known good battery !

What they said and check your ground at the attachment bolt and the hot wire on the starter its self for tightness. You can take your old bat to the local HD dealer and get a AGM for around a hundred or so bucks. also always keep the battery on a bat tender. If it doesn't start after that i'll give ya a hundred buck for the bike J/K Good luck
