2007 Classic Carpenter Dreaded Click

[RocketlllMan]

Remove the starter solenoid and clean the plunger and contacts.....they will be pitted

The rebuild shop did that when they told me that was all they could find marginally wrong, they said this shouldn't stop it from working properly. It didn't help me at all.

You need to do the extra relay like rocket scientist has posted
now if you want to prove that is the problem then you can run a hot wire to the starter solenoid terminal
This will bypass all safetys including the clutch so make sure it is in nuetral

On the quest of fixing the click, this battery was tested by pros and found to be in good standing, now, how low does it supposed to go when you push the starter button? It goes from 12.5 to 9 and sometimes to 8.7 when i hit the starter. Its 70 degrees so the monster woke up, still clicked twice in between several starts. But it does seem to not like cold weather, like i said before it has less than 9000 miles

Is this the starter relay?

Tried to upload video but didnt know how, this is the screen shot of switch, on then when starter was spinning

I'm pretty sure the voltage isn't supposed to drop that low. That does look like starter relay, 5 pins?

Yes, 5 pin, i switched and did the same thing, then i jumped the relay directly to the battery and it has a healthy spin, i then put it on a 5 amp charger as a tender and it has not clicked since, looks like a bad battery combined with cold weather
