The starter on my bike is inoperable, not even a click, I'm hoping it's only a blown fuse, if there is one. Anyways, it's a 2010 Eton Beamer III with 1998 miles.
Thanks for the help.

There should only be one FUSE coming off the Battery, it will be on the RED THIN wire coming off the battery.
Question, When you turn the KEY on and SQUEEZE the BRAEK does your stoplights come on?
Do any of the gauges work and or lights when you turn the KEY TO ON?

I saw the fuse coming off the batteryand that one is good. When I turn the key on the rear light (brake light is working) and dash light is on, the turn signals and horn work. The headlight and fuel gauge come on when I start the bike. The rear light assembly is an aftermarket LED unit.

First to check is make sure the SOLENOID is getting BATTERY JUICE TOUCH BOTH TERMINALS on the solenoid and it should spin your starter. Then you want to check is see if the SOLENOID is plugged into the harness. If it is then turn the key on tape the brake on and check the Yellow and Green wire going into the SOLENOID, that should have voltage. The Start button what that does is GROUNDS the SOLENOID to complete the circuit. Alleyoop  |

Sorry no time today and tomorrow isn't looking very open either. I'll just keep kicking it till I get around to it (or get sick of kicking it over).
Thanks for the help and I'll revive this thread when I get to it.

I found the problem. The wire from the solenoid to the starter was off the starter. Now it's working.
