***ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
If you were having the same issue as I was and you were wondering why does ATV click when try to start it then I likely have the fix for you!
When I tried to start my ATV, nothing would happen and I would only hear a clicking sound. So I went through a few diagnostic checks before coming to the conclusion that I had a starter problem.
After removing the starter from the my Suzuki Eiger I disassembled the starter. Inside was a lot of dust like material which came from the starter brushes. The brushes were wore out, especially one of them. I cleaned the inside of the starter of the dust and ordered new brushes.
When the starter brushes arrived I then installed them in the starter and assembled the starter back together. I then installed the starter back on the Suzuki Eiger and it started immediately.
You can buy these starter brushes for a Suzuki Eiger 400 here on Amazon:
*Amazon Canada: amzn.to/3iI8ecT
*Amazon US: amzn.to/3sqFgUg
If you have a different make and model of ATV, be sure to see if you can find the part on Amazon! Lots of times I can get parts cheaper on Amazon or Ebay, even with the shipping cost.

Please leave a comment if this video helped you with your ATV. You can also watch this video where I had fuel petcock issues with my ATV:
I have a 2015 Suzuki 400 Quad Runner with the same symptom, clicking at the solenoid. I was looking to buy a new starting motor, however my year/model Quad Runner requires a much more expensive starter than pre-2011's models; $360 ouch. After viewing your video, I ordered a new brush kit for a fraction of the starter cost. I just finished the starter re-build. When I opened it up it was loaded with fine black powder. After cleaning as you described and re-installing, she starts right up. The hardest part of the job was trying to figure out how to twist and rotate the starter to clear the tailpipe. Thanks again for the great video.
Good fix, nice job showing the process of isolating the starter and rebuilding it.
Thanks for the great video and advice. I too had an issue with a single "click", coming from the starter solenoid (on my 2003 Bayou 250). I watched your video and all the other starter/starter solenoid related TH-cam videos available and was convinced that I had a bad started solenoid based on the videos and the fact that the single "click" sound came from the solenoid, not the starter. There were numerous aftermarket starter solenoids available on Amazon for around $10 xo I figured I would try the least expensive and easiest repair (compared to replacing the starter itself) first...what a hassle! I bought and returned starter solenoids from 4 different sellers due to the "B" (for battery) and "M" (for motor) being on opposite sides from what the description pictures showed and that the description clearly stated the solenoid was compatible with my specific ATV...maybe it doesn't matter? I don't know though because it turned out that the single "click" coming from the starter solenoid was actually caused by a bad starter. I replaced the starter and everything worked fine, even the original starter solenoid.
Thanks, we have two ATV's (a 94' polaris 400 2x4 and a 05' Eiger 4x4 and both starters went out. The brushes are a lot cheaper than two whole starters. It's seams like they always break at the most opportune times to.😄 Thanks a lot, saved us a lot of money.
Good seeing you again, thanks for the ice fishing and the morning trip. Glad to see you have the ATV fixed and running. See you and your family in about two months. Woody & Marilou
Thanks. I have kids dying to ride and you saved the day. Easy fix...just needed a point in the right direction. Was able to clean up my brushes and the starter housing. That got it working for now, new brushes ordered.
Thank you very much for your time making this video. Great tool

I don't know though because it turned out that the single "click" coming from the starter solenoid was actually caused by a bad starter. For me, the final clue was that I couldn't "jump" the starter by connecting the solenoid terminals with a screwdriver. I am sure that there are other more exact diagnostics I could have done with a meter but I replaced the starter and everything worked fine, even the original starter solenoid.
Great fix!
Thanks I am sure this is my problem and i will work on it after thanksgiving.
A very well done video.

Thanks for the video. I have the old 2005/6 Eiger. When taking off the starter I had to tap it out from the other side because it was in so tight. The gear was fine not worn at all. The brushes were completely gone. So I’m ordering them. I’ll let you know how it goes.
How much did you pay for the brush when you got them? I checked mine and it’s the same problem but the link you provided no longer has the item available and I just wanna make sure I’m not scammed out of my money
