Suzuki Quad

my late 90's suzuki atv won't start, probably an electrical problem, any suggestions?

i have a late 90's suzuki atv that i can not get to turn over. The starter is fine, but when i try to start it normally with the start button it will just click. All of the fuses are fine, the battery is charged, it only clicks once with each push of the button. i have looked at all the wiring connections and they all seem to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

1. Try jumping it with another car. If the click you are hearing is a loud click coming from the starter, it means the starter is not getting enough current or there is a dead spot in the armature. A dead spot is just a place where it won't make contact inside the starter. If this is the problem, try tapping the starter with a wrench or a hammer. This sometimes helps make the contact. It could also be a bad ground wire. Have one person hold a wire (or any bare metal object) with one end on a bare (unpainted) metal part of the engine and the other end on a bare metal part of the body, like the radiator mount. Have someone else try to start the car.
