'11 796 not starting, no neutral light

[dbran1949]

Late to the discussion, but if the solenoid is clicking that rules out any of the neutral-side stand-kill switch possibilities. The Solenoid is the last thing to get power after all the safety interlocks are passed.

Clicking solenoid means it is getting enough power (Volts * Amps) to push the engagement gear into place but not enough power to spin the motor

so it's the starter, then?  battery passed load test.

Don't rule out the solenoid yet.  The click means the winding is good and the contacts are touching.  If the points are dirty you will lose power to the starter.  You can either bypass the solinoid or apply battery power directly to the starter.  Do make sure the bike is in neutral as you are eliminating all safeties.  Although it is very unlikely this is the cause, remove the spark plugs and make sure the engine turns.
