2002 yamaha raptor 660R. clicks but no start

when i went to start it it started but then shut off when i took the seat off and looked at the solenoid there was a little smoke coming from what looked like the red wire. the battery is new ( not brand new, but new) when i try and start it now it does not smoke but just clicks everytime i hit the button. maybe the starter? but ive never seen a bad starter cause smoke in the solenoid. any suggestions?

bad starter relay/solenoid or bad connection, or starter, they'll get hot and smoke then usually blow a fuse ... is the starter pretty easy to take off? test it out of the motor ...
