Bike won t start! Help! 94 Honda shadow 1100?


Hi guys, I have a 94 shadow 1100. This morning I went out to start it and it just kept cranking over like it was about to start. It was a bit cold out so I figured it would fight me to start. Eventually I ended up draining my battery and said forget it I ll try it later. I hooked it up to a charger and after it was fully charged, I went to start it up. Only this time It didn t do anything. I let it sit for a minute and tried again and I hear a "clunk" sound coming from the bottom of my bike. Almost around my starter. I hear the clunk for like the 4-5 times I press the button then I hear nothing. Again, I let it sit, and the clunk comes back for a few more presses. My kickstand is down, my bike is in neutral and my engine kill switch isn t on. I fear I may have somehow seized my engine or just fried my starter. Anyone know what might be the issue? The bike has been running fine up until now. Hasn t sat for more that a few days since I last rode it.
