When I turn the key and press to start it, it just clicks, wines,and draws power making the headlight dim. I believe the battery is ok. Any guesses what it might be. I was thinking it might be the starter? Up until now, there would be a click and brief delay, then the bike would start but today nothing. | ||

sounds like a stuck starter solenoid. try tapping the starter with a hammer and see if it can move afterwords. | ||

Chigirl, It sounds like your battery is weak, you are not getting enough voltage to your starter. Check your battery connections, charge your battery then try it again. | ||

Chigirl-+1 on the weak battery. My wife's bike would fire, but not run Saturday[several days of 15-30 degrees]. A few hours on a slow charge and I took it for a nice ride. | ||

I put a charger on the battery and just cleaned the terminals, so I'm pretty sure it is not the battery but I will take it to have it tested. As for the solenoid, I'll try anything. My friend has all my manuals, where is it and what does it look like? | ||

No its not the starter, have never heard of a starter going bad on a Blast. Check your grounds, a single vibrates, and the grounds could be loose. EZ | ||

Ok looks like it was the battery. EZ fix. Can anyone recommend a battery and a good online place to buy one? Thanks | ||
