If all you are getting with a fully charged battery is a click of the soleniod then your starter motor is messed up.  Pull it and bench check it.

Let us know if:

a) it works on the bench test
b) you pull it and it is dripping oil
c) wont turn at all

We can go from there on the advice.  We need you to check the starter motor first as that is the most common problem for the "only getting a click noise" problem.

If he is hearing a click then most likely the soleniod is activating.  So I have a hard time believing that it is the soleniod (It could be, but I think it to be unlikely).  I still say to check the starter motor first.

With bike in nuetral, run 12V from the bike battery directly to the starter motors' power lug(use jumper cables).  See what happens and report back.
