I have read everything I could read about this issue but still can't figure it out. I get 1 click when I push the start button. I seem to be able to start the bike in 2 ways.
1. Wait for the weather to warm up and it seems to start more often, but I still experience the click.
2. Put it in gear roll it around, and it seems to start

Here is what I have done so far to try to fix it.
1. Installed a new high CCA Lithium Battery along with a secondary battery.
2. Pulled of clutch switch and cleaned. Left it out of the bike so it stayed, no help.
3. Replaced Starter relay/along with pulling out all the wires and tightening the connectors
4. Replaced starter with an upgraded 17610 starter
5. I tried to pull and clean the crank sensor, but it seems stuck in there. Any tips on pulling it? Yes I took out the screw LOL

There seems to be a lot of different things that can cause the dreaded click
Just recently I've had that on 2 of my Rockets & tried & cleaned absolutely everything. Would do the rock in gear even & it would eventually start!
What it turned out to be was the starter relay wire (black) to starter solenoid plug that sits behind the engine that you can't get at & they get dirty & corrode ... so that wire from relay goes into the harness & comes out back of motor to the plug then down to starter solenoid plug ( it's a single wire & I know cause I cut an old loom to check).
So I just ran a new wire from starter to the relay & waaala...no problems since.

It was without a doubt the ignition. I have now installed an RF Relay and it starts perfect. So now I have a new starter, new battery, clean crankshaft sensor, ignition bypass (to fix the click) then ISCV set, new primary TPS sensor, clean throttle body springs, new vacuum caps and new vacuum lines on the way (for hanging idle issue). I've even bypassed the stepper motor and still hangs when I blip the throttle.
