Previously I found out that my petcock was letting fuel all the way down into the oil pan.
Now I am having another problem. Here's what happened:

Went out to put some car oil in temporarily, but knowing that the fuel petcock had been left to on, I reopened the drain, and got about a quart of gasoline. After that I put in some car oil, till I get the fuel problem solved.

Went to start it and it wouldn't start. Pushed the button and it just clicked.
Looked here on the forms and tried banging on the starter a little, and pulling the spark plugs. Neither worked. Finally after jiggling back and forth in gear, it did something different. It would click, then whenever I moved the bike side to side a little, it would rapidly click.

Not sure if this means my starter gears are shot, or the relay is spazzing, or what. Any ideas?
