Please help!!!

My little blast is having problems... I can't start it! When I press the starter button, my starter clicks, but doesn't roll over. It doesn't even try to start the bike... all I hear is this constant clicking sound. I have some ideas what it may be, too much fuel was feed (my girlfriend was playing with the throttle) I tried everything I could think of, but I'm not sure what else I should do.

I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanks guys!!! You're all awesome, and one of the reasons I picked a Buell as my first bike. My friend told me about this site and since then I've been on it everyday!!!

you said constant clicking right? if its not just 1 solid click when u push the button, it sounds like the battery is low.

I'll give it a go in the morning. Can a car jump a motorcycle? Or is that too much power?

just hook the cables up correctly. DO NOT start the car. that'll put too much charge thru. i've done it with my truck on my blast,and quad with no problems.

I actually just got a 12 dollar charger, pulled the battery off, charged it for about 3 hours... and it was good to go.

Thanks for all the help!!
