Won't start, just rapid electrical clicking noise?
It has been a month since last started up which was fine but now i have got it all ready for the mot and for the first time since i bought it in 2002, it wont start. The starter motor thinks about it for a second and then cuts to a rapid electrical clicking sound i have not heard before.
Does anyone have any ideas? Cheers, Simon. |

Sounds like a flat battery to me.

Agree with poster above, sounds like the battery is flat.

As above, don't be tempted to just " jump start " the bike because as soon as engine starts the alternator charges at maximum which could fry your rectifier/regulator. best put battery on charge,

What fry's them is if you jump it off a car, jump it off a bike as the ampage is different, last resort car but you have been warned.

Jumping off a car is perfectly safe if i recall correctly? You just have to make sure the car engine is not running.
