Starter Click, Rocking to move the crank works.

I think all these suggestions are worth the effort. Problems always happen at the worst time or locations.

Here is how you would do it on a touring. You need a 5 pin 12vdc 30/40 amp relay. By them on Amazon or at any auto parts store.

Swell for our touring friend here h/e I have the 07 r3 classic where do I go? I have had this problem for tooooo long have a 1.4kw starter and am starting to wonder if I should take it back. I previously took starter to a local AIS rebuild shop and have been told starter is fine. Camilla hasn't gotten near the miles she should have & I'm dying to rack them up before turning her over to the next Rocket Master. Rocking the bike does work for me also but @ 69yrs I'm tired of it & am worried that someday it isn't going to work and don't want to call the tow truck buddy to move her again. Nothing against my friend.
 
That is looking at the relay terminals
if looking at the connector terminals then you reverse 85 and 86
 
turn ignition on (how's your lights?)
turn ignition on put a hot battery wire to number 9 fuse and try to start this should make it work good for checking purposes.
report progress.
connector number and relay terminal
#8****#87 black to starter solenoid
#1****#30 blue/yellow to fuse number 9
#6*****? white/red from starter button
#4*****? yellow/brown to ecu
#5****87A blue to lights

My Triumph Service Manual has not yet arrives so this will be a generic go-by;

A Mechanic's trouble shooting flow, first steps should be;

1) Battery Load Test then;

2) Starting Circuit Amperage Draw Test, (during this test its useful to use a handheld IR Thermometer to find "High Electrical Heat" Components that will show possible excessive amperage draw then;

3) Bench Test/Inspection Starter, (again looking for bad armature, windings, brushes etc. (Use Multimeter to check continuity and for faults/shorts).

4) Check EFI and Ignition Modules for high or no amperage = failed unit.
 
So... I finally got off my lazy *** and got this done just now. Wow, what a difference, you can hear how much harder the solenoid is engaging with power direct from the battery.

The bike has never fired up so fast like it does now, I must have started it seven time now just to listen to the starter. I even made the wife listen to it, but of course she was like... "I don't hear anything".

Thank you for all the help, everyone. You guys rock!!
