Hi guys got a problem getting my vfr400 NC24 to fire up
Whenever I press the start button it's just clicking but was out on it the night before
The battery isn't dead it's been checked but in need of a NC24 workshop manual and a wiring diagram but can't get one anywhere?
Anything anyone knows is helpfull if anyone has had this problem and knows how its fixed would be brilliant
If anyone has a manual or diagram if you could email it to me it would be brilliant!

I have not got a workshop manual but a genuine honda part manual for the NC24 if that is of any help to you.
Errhm, not digital but the real part book.

Thanks for getting back to me but its the workshop manual I'm looking for does ure manual have a wiring diagram?
Thanks again

There's no English language workshop manual available, the haynes nc30 manual lists the specs for the nc24 in the rear but that's about it.

You don't need a workshop manual to diagnose that.

That is like 90% probably a dead battery. How and when exactly did you check the battery was ok?

The only other likely issues are sticking starter solenoid or sticking starter motor.

Due to how notorious the VFR is for weak electrical system and the fact you were riding it recently I suspect battey.

Hi neosaphist thanks for getting back to me.
I charged the battery but its still not firing up, I thought it could be the Solonoid so iv ordered a new one
It's the Solonoid that keeps clicking when I press the button
The battery needs a top up aswell but its got enough charge to fire up so I thought it must be somewhere else
Do you think if the Solonoid doesn't do it ill be looking for a new starter motor and battery then?
Forgot to say it was a multimeter that I used to check battery and was within about an hour or two of it not starting to battery getting checked
Cheers

Thanks cammo but I'm using my phone and it won't let me access ure link for the diagram
Could you email me it please my email address is: Findlay17anstruther@gmail.com

Clicking solenoid generally indicates insufficent battery power.

Do you have a multimeter to check the battery?

Most often the regulator will fail and kill the battery.

Even if you charge the battery it might not start the bike.

You need to check voltages at certatin points.. as above and in my original post, its most likely dead battery.

What is happening? Is it clicking straight away after charging the battery?

I have a multi meter yeah and have charged battery but its just clicking at the Solonoid even when battery charged it just won't fire up the Solonoid seems so be getting power coming into it but don't think it can pass it if you get me
Iv ordered another Solonoid hoping its just that which has got something failing in it as it could be the original from manufacturing of bike
What should the battery read to be enough to fire up just so I can check if it is that? But it was reading 12.4 before charge then 14 after charge
Thanks
