My 2015 Pioneer 500 shut off and now it will not start. The battery is brand new, the relays are good, the fuses are good and I can hear the fuel pump prime. I have spark and the air filter is good. When I turn the key I hear a clicking from the relay box and then I hear the pump prime. I don't know if that's normal. Any help would be appreciated.

maybe a ground wire needs to be cleaned up at the connection.

Is that the ground on the frame or another ground?

If you have already charged & checked the battery voltage <>cleaned all connections.
Turn on the head lights & try to start if lights go out <> back to battery & connections.
If you get a slight Dim that's normal ( pull the Starter ) P500 starters are prone to problems.
I keep a Spare at the ready.
Good luck

May be a dumb question but do you have it in neutral? If it's in gear you have to push on the brake pedal. If you have the - on the display, rock the machine back and forth a little until it shows a gear.

It's in neutral. That's the only way I could move back into my shop.
