Not turning over and clicking noise.
Hi, I'm new to biking & have just bought a 57 plate SV650s. I've just went to start it & I'm getting a quick clicking sound (like a machine gun but not as loud!!). Does this mean that the battery is dead? Thanks, Tony.

Re: Any technical advice please.
Try holding the clutch in when you start it

Re: Any technical advice please.
If it were just a case of pulling clutch in, surely there would be no noise at al?l.
Sounds like a dead battery to me. Clicky click is the noise when mine was dead.

Re: Any technical advice please.
Sounds like:
Starter solenoid closes <click> Starter motor draws high current Battery voltage drops Starter solenoid releases <click> <repeat as necessary> So, it sounds like a flat battery and there are a whole heap of possible reasons. |

Re: Any technical advice please.
Hi. Thanks for all the advice. I am holding the clutch in and its not the kill switch, so I guess as you've all said it is the battery. I've had it on charge for a couple of days so I guess the battery is just goosed!!
