i got a o7 trx250 and now it started , when i try to start it it just clicks, everything is tight on it everywhere, but if i put it in gear and take it out a cople times i starts fine plz help. :dunno.gif

check your battrey sounds like she is dead or low on juice  if its a 14bs size i got one for $25 u can have

Sounds like the starter is freezing up.

click 9 out of 10 is battrey  either way those are only 2 things that can be wronge with it so now u have a place to look but check battrey first

Check for lose battery terminals.  If not I'm going with starter just because it starts fine when it does start.  If it does sound like its lugging the started I'd go with battery.

Matt,
how old is the battery? Is it a gel battery?  If its in good condition, consider it sold.

its not the terminals there tight as sh*t i think its the neutral saftey swicth because if i put it in ggear a coplue times then take it out it starts fine

Do you have a neutral light?

yes

I don't think it's the neutral switch because you said it clicks,if it is not in neutral or the switch is bad it should not do anything. Next time try jumping across the starter relay,(make sure it's in neutral) if it starts it is probably the relay if it clicks it is probably a bad conection or low battery.

backwoods i told him check battry in first replay all the other winners on this site got this cat going crazy about switches. people on here       are so dumb some times

Could be the bypass pump next to the carburetor relay switch.

it doesnt jump across

did u check you battrey ? ??? ??? ???  and if that has a charge check your ground. follow it off the neg terminal tot he frame where it bolts.   but sounds more like battery problem but hell dont listen to me i just work on stuff like this alot

The clicking you hear is the relay (solenoid) closing.  Most likey, you have a low/bad battery.  Very improbable but you could have a bad spot on the starter and not enough current makes it to the windings to cause the motor to turn, in which case the only choice is to replace the starter.  Save yourself some grief and charge the battery; if that doesn't work, replace it (the battery, silly). 

its possible that you solenoid is bad. take a pair of pliars and jump the 2 main terminals across, if it starts that way then your starter is obviously good meaning the relay is bad. its not uncommon for a solenoid to go bad. also, your terminals ont he solenoid could be loose.

the seloniod doesent jump

About as rare as a bad starter.  ATV batteries are notoriously troublesome unless kept on a trickle charger.  I bet bad battery.

Of course it does.... it jumps when the bike jumps  ;)

batteries usually last me a year or so. replace the battery.

MUFFLER BREARINGS :D ;) <nanaparty> ITS DEM DAMNNN   NANNNERS!!!!!!
