New Bike - Won't Turn Over

[MRNJ00]

Go to start my bike this morning...no problem...went to walk it up to the front of the house in first gear and tripped causing me to let the clutch all the way out and bike stalled. Went to restart and no turn over. Tried several times with no luck. Started getting clicking. Put it on the tender hoping this would do the trick. Bike is new, just got it in Feb and only 200 miles on it. If it's not the battery any suggestions? I last rode in on Wednesday. It's been way cold though last two nights though and it wasn't on the tender those nights.

thoughts?

Is it in neutral when you try to start it? Might not start when it's in gear...

Is there an electrical clip not connceted over there? That's what was wrong with mine when it wouldn't turn over in gear, this wire makes that possible. Another member could probably show a photo as i'm not near my bike

The clicking could be the battery. But definitely check the clutch, there is a plug that has to be plugged in because it tells the bike if the clutch is pulled in. It will start when it is in gear as long as you have the clutch pulled in.

The cold for a few nights, or weeks for that matter, wouldn't affect it. A battery tender would only be necessary for several weeks/months.

The clicking is usually a sign that there isn't enough juice to engage the starter. Stalling it in first gear popping the clutch shouldn't cause this. Something must be loose or shorting.

I put back in nuetral and it wouldn't catch fire, just trying to turn over, but battery was draining every time I tried and got to point where it was clicking. I'm at work now, so once I get off I'll try again. May have just been too cold, who knows. I put in gear and pulled clutch in and put in neutral and still same thing. It just kept trying to turn over, but no fire, then just was draining the battery.

Check all the wiring and the kill switch, flop it off and back on. If nothing call dealer and tell them to come get it.

out of curiosity, those that had problems with the kickstand switch, does it stop it from turning over or firing. never had the problem yet, but i know many of you have.

Is there any gas in it?

The kickstand-switch cuts off power to the starter when the bike's in gear.

The kickstand-switch cuts off power to the starter when the bike's in gear.

It cuts power elsewhere as well (the ignition?). When I've put my bike in gear with the kickstand down while running, it shuts off right away.

When the bike stalled did it lurch forward and could you possibly hit the kill switch?

is your red on/off button off ? maybe you slipped and turned it off when you tripped?

Thanks all for your replies... Was likely just too cold... May look at changing oil and getting better viscosity to deal with colder mornings. All was good when I came home. Started right up. Appreciate all the advice...
