My 2017 Bonneville Bobber is not clicking or nothing if you flip down to run and waiting on everything to come on. But if you hold the start button it will start but bog out and die in about 3 seconds. Thanks if you have any words of wisdom.
 
Also, when was the last time, that you fired it up? The reason, I said to check out the plugs, was to see if they're wet. But second thought, if you're not getting any turn over at all and it just clicks. Try turning by on your lights and see if you're getting any power, to the bike at all?
 
It sounds electrical, it could be a number of things. Even something very simple, might have have came loose while riding. I'm sure that somebody on this site, that knows more about Triumphs than I do, will be able to help you get fired up and running right again. This site is really great for getting great knowledge and advise about your bike.

We really need more information to offer even a reasonable guess.
Tell us more about the history of the bike.
How long have you had it? Did you buy it new or is it recently new to you? how often is it ridden? how many miles on it? Has it been stored? how is it stored? Have you done or had any work done to it recently?
The more info the better.

I have an another idea, I really don't like doing this at all, myself. But it might narrow down your problem some. Push start the bike and see if it will fire up that way. Make sure the ignition is on, push it fast enough, but not too far away either. Because, if it doesn't fire up, you have to push it back home again. If you do decide to try and push start it, I recommend using second gear. If it's not electrical, it should fire up. I, personally don't like pust starting anything, if I can help it. But it does work.
 
Check your fuses and connections up to the start/switch. Make sure those wires haven't been pinched at the tank. It happened on mine, had to replace switch assembly and tps just for damage to the throttle wires. Dont repair these small wires if thats what you find. They are very peculiar about resistance
 
I found this for you and I hope it helps. I'd look at item 40 it's a
Starter Solenoid Assy and that might be it to. It's always the little things. This has the prices on there too for you find out what the problem is. I'll send another one from triumph for you with price also. I hope this helps.

I bought and own the Triumph factory shop manual. It cost me a little over 200.00 bucks. But worth every penny of it. I bought it from my Triumph dealer. It has much more in depth info and is much better than any Haines Triumph manual. I've also bought the Triumph parts manual too. That cost me as much as the shop manual did. But, I've always done my own work, on my bikes and cars. So, Haines does not work all that well for me. I wanted the Triumph shop manual, along with their parts manual also, from Triumph. For example, if I have to do some engine repair work. The shop manual will give me a lot more detailed info, along with all of the correct specs from Triumph, that I need. I've never been a big fan of Haines manuals. They're good for small things. But I wouldn't use one, to do any major engine work with. But, then again, that's just my own opinion on Haines Manuals.
