A couple weeks ago my bike started up fine in the morning, then after work wouldn't start so I bump started it, got home and put the battery on the charger. Next day, same thing - bike started in the morning, nothing at the end of the day. Both times I was just getting a click at the solenoid and nothing else. At that point I figured it was most likely my battery, so I took it back to the store, they tested it and said it was shot, and I picked up a new one. Since putting the new one in I haven't been able to get my bike to start again, just a solenoid click every time I push the starter. I put a new solenoid because they are cheap and mine was looking pretty old and decrepit anyway, but the end result was the same.
At this point I would assume it's the starter motor, which go for about $100 on eBay, but to get it out to be tested it looks like I need a couple special tools that I don't have. Is there anything else I should be checking here, or should I order in the tools I need to check out the starter engine?
