    is clicking coming from starter relay?
    if yes than make sure your battery +- and starter cable conection is firm.

    never mind,I just watched movie.your starter is working.you missing fuel or spark.take plug out and see if you have spark.if yes you have fuel problem.

    GixxerBlade Oh geez

    I think you can take it out and connect the spark plug lead the see if it arcs to a grounded spot like your motor. If its fuel it may just be your fuel pump, petcock, or even something as stupid as your fuel filter. Hope this helps.

    you can take plug out and rest it against bolt or something convinient(ground) and hit starter button.

    things to check

    If the only thing you changed was the wiring harness, then it must be electrical issue.

    So, before and after....
    orig elec harness works?? assume yes
    install new harness and no longer works... assume yes
    put old hardness back on works? assume yes
    = problem with new harness
    so based on that at least you know it's not mechanical or no internal fuel tank issues

    where did you get the wiring harness... return the thing if it don't work

    compare the harness and see which connections don't match

    get the manual on your bike

    use the manual elec diagrams to home the cable out using a volt meter - set volt meter for resistance, put neg on one end of cable, put pos end on other end of cable... use the manual to tell you when ends and pins to go by...for example....
    on one of the elec connectors pin 1 should go to pin 6 on the other end elec connector... so put the volt meter on pin 1 and pin 5 the volt meter should show no resistance - it may eve beep for ya.


    check fuel pump

    see if you have a kick stand switch that won't let the bike start with kick stand down or switch not tape closed

    The ECU may not be sending spark correctly due to the harness.

    Maybe it's sending spark in the wrong order due to the wire harness and never turning over.
    That could be a wiring issue at the ECU or maybe the ignition pack.

    just brainstorming here....... offering suggestions.......

    Ummm- you might want to hold onto it with insulated pliers or something while you do this. Not your hand.

    Plugs are fouled out. Change spark plugs.
