Another Starting Problem

[DC_Blast]

Just purchases a 2000 Blast for my first bike. I am not experienced with manual transmissions plus the clutch on this bike is very unforgiving. I was practicing last night and stalled it around 6 times. After the sixth stall the bike would not start. When I hit the starter button it just clicks. The battery has enough power for all the lights to work.

I figure that it has to be a battery, starter, or fuel/carb problem. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be?

Thanks

Likely you just ran the battery down (has enough juice to power lights, but not turn the bike over). Charge the battery up, assuming it's good and holds a charge, start the bike and while it's running check battery voltage with a multimeter to ensure charging system is good.

yup, check the volts on the bike with a meter and also clean your connections up. even if they look clean, shine them up with a wire brush.
