Starter Question
WTF304:
You changed it though didn't you ? ..... one tool to have for electrical work is a power probe, best tool I've ever had. The relay is clicking but your not getting power at the solenoid perhaps ..... might be the signal wire. Those pins could also be touching inside that burned connector end, or just irrelevantly the starter is actually at fault .... did you try giving it direct power straight from the battery ? run a test wire from the battery and go straight to the starter .... if it turns over then it's not the starter and your right back at the other components and wires. Could the motor be locked up ?

Yep I have a test wire and the wires have power like they should and yep I ran power directly to the starter and it cranked and started the bike lol. But once I put the connecter into the solenoid I get nothing, not even a click from the solenoid itself.
You are right I did change it BUT it was just a $10 done from ebay so I am not sure how good it actually is.
WTF304:
Did you test the old relay or solenoid for continuity? Or resistance...... just for shits and giggles check up by the key switch that's the only other thing i can think atm.
WTF304:
Just had another thought ..... and probably the dumbest thing that always beats people in the head .... did you check the to glass fuses ?

Here's a diagram of the wire color and components for the staring system
