when attempting startup, solenoid clicks repeatedly, but starter does nothing. I've been to a couple places that give test proceedures, but know no more now than before. I think the solenoid may be bad, but not sure. Could it be the starter relay?
 
Have you checked all the connections, including the socket the starter relay is in? Start with the easy stuff like battery connections and make sure everything is clean and tight. Doesn't hurt to use dielectric grease on all of those connections either. Make sure you check those connections at the starter too.
 
And the battery has been load tested? What is the last thing you did to the bike before this started?
