No start

Had the bike out yesterday no problems and even started it up this morning to warm it up. Shut it off to do something and now it will not start. Just a klicking sound which sounds like a relay but I can not pin point where it is. Battery voltage is 12.59 2007 Gl1800 Any thoughts?

I'd first remove the negative battery connection then the positive one.
Scrape both clean..including the battery post..Put them back...positive first then negative...Secure with German torque.
If it doesn't start right up,measure the battery volts when you try to crank it.

the first thing is to check the condition of the battery connections, and the terminals where the negative connects to the frame.

don't remember on the 2007 if the starter relay clicks with the OFF/ON/OFF switch in the off position or not, but I have been bitten by that...... it gets moved and you don't know it.

Checked the basic connections a local shop will look at it next week. It has a trike kit on it so hard for me to get to the starter etc. Thanks for responding.
