I have same problem. In the end it was fault in the starter. Try to
start motorcyle and hold starter button for a second or two. It wil not
crank, just click from the solenoid, but if the starter becomes hot then
is the starter problem (not battery or solenoid). If you decide to clean
solenoid be very careful to not disconect or pull those thin wires from
it. If you do so, you can lost connection.

If the solenoid clicks then normally not. I suspect you dont have
enough cranking amps on the battery to turn the starter. That is why
you need to jump the starter from the battery to see if it spins the
motor. If it does, you have enough battery to spin it. Thne I would
clean the connections with some sand paper on the solenoid and try
again. if that doesnt work, then it could be the solenoid. Also spray
some electric parts cleaner into the starter button. the contacts are
not always solid on these older bikes.

That single click is most likely the selonoid, check your starters
positive feed, also there is probably a fuse by the selonoid, and
the engines ground strap. You could try jumping from the battery
to the starter to test its function.

The battery in my 83 550cb NH is good. I just replaced the starter
motor which is good. Now when I press the starter button on the
right grip I hear one click only. The click is coming from under
the seat. Any suggestions? Needless to say I am not a mechanic.
