Thanks to OP for posting the question, it was the second one in my search results for 'solenoid'. This site is great! :claps:

Last night the son and I went out to finally get the bike started but have the same situation. Mine cranked a couple of revs then the dreaded solenoid click.

Question:
When jumping direct to the starter does anything need to be disconnected (solenoid) or is it just a jumper wire from battery + to to the connection post on starter with the key on?

Thanks

Thanks guys! Before jumpering I wanted to be sure I wasn't going to cause any more problems.

If DKirk's Twin Cities distribution center is still in same location I'm just minutes from it.

My dad owned the bike before me and I helped him put a different starter (salvage) in it about 6 years ago. I did a cleanup on my CB750C starter probably about the same time. I recall that one wasn't too tough to do, I imagine the Wing's is about the same. Definitely will look at the tech how-to.

Thanks again!
