Can you bump start it?

Tried a different solenoid?

Tried a different starter motor?

If the solenoid was faulty, you could short it all you want.... It would still be faulty.

I have this problem too, just back after a holiday, bike started first time. then the next day, nothing but a buzzing/fast clicking noise from the solenoid. i also see the revv counter go up wen i try to start, yet the starter doesnt even run...im working on it at the moment so if i discover something ill post it up, unless someone has an idea about this.
Try all possible methods then adopt the best one.

I had the problem with the really fast clicking noise when I took out the starter moter for a service. turns out it was just a bad earth connection to the starter motor.
