Lots of clicks but not starting

You got it going yet? My bike roared into life at 10pm last night (thought the neighbours would like a bit of late night entertainment) and this morning I rode to work the long way round. £60 for a new Chinese battery

Not yet, the battery charger (12V, 1A) has just gone green (been charging for about 24 hours, is that normal for a new battery?).

I've got lectures for the rest of the day, so hopefully later I too will hear roars of life!

I got my battery for discounted price of £40ish (inc delivery), from Batterymans site

Yay! It's alive! So I guess it was entirely the batteries fault.

Thanks for all advice/encouragement

Problem solved

I'm having a simliar problem and I think it could well be the battery, I had this same issue last year so I bought a new battery and it seemed to work ok, but if the bike was left for more than a week it would be bone dry and wouldnt start( dont have an alarm but do have heated grips for the cold commute I used to do-these have been disconnected at the moment), I'm not sure this is standard, I'm sure my old curvy lasted longer before going dead.

Well, now when I give the battery a good 18 hour or so charge I can start her up but if I try 2 days later it wont, there is enough juice for the clocks and I can hear a whirring sort of noise from the battery area and it physically tries to start, clocks go out etc but no start. Could this indicate a dodgy battery being that once its fully charged it goes OK?

Sorry for the long post.

Cheers for any input received.

scrap the last post....the bike is booked in with spannerman and will, fingers crossed, be all sorted in 2 shakes of a lambs tail!!! C U soon spannerman!!
