Check the cable connection at the clutch switch. This little devil has given lots of people fits...For some reason, the wires get pulled loose just enough to cause the problem. Push the connector back tight and all will be well

Battery??!!   I had a similar problem - battery checked fine but under load (cranking) it would simply click, click, click.


Have you done ANY work on the bike of any sort? - As Troll indicates, that loose/disconnected clutch switch has hit many of us...

Check the other end of the ground wire going from the battery to the block.  That was my problem.
