Tiger Explorer No Crank No Start

[RJPisani]

Hey everyone


My bike is not turning over. I'm getting a no crank no start. Friday I was riding, all was fine. I got caught out in an ice storm and yesterday when I went out, my ignition was frozen.
I hit it with some deicer and got the key turning but when I hit the ignition switch, I get nothing. Yesterday was like 20F so I disconnected the battery and brought it in for the night.
Just hooked it back up, still nothing. I did a load test, I was reading 12.5V with the headlights on, so I think my battery is okay. That said, when I turned the key, I noticed this whining
sound. I have a video. You can hear it happening, until I turn the key off. When I turn it back on, it starts again. I flip the engine switch, you'll hear the fuel pump, along with the sound
until I turn the key off again. I'm wondering if this is related, but don't know what it could be. I checked the fuses, all were good. I thought maybe my clutch pin wasn't engaging, but I'm
able to pull it in and shift easily between first, neutral, and second. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this or if anyone has any suggestions on what to check?

thanks in advance!

For some reason the server wont let me post a .mov video, is there another way?

The video file may be too large. I suggest using the free app VLC to convert to mp4 (or m4a) and make the file smaller.

Maybe the clutch saftey switch is frozen. Not releasing so you can engage starter.
