I haven't been on my bike for a couple of weeks as it's been too cold & icey for even me.
But I tried to start her up yesterday and she wouldn't start, before I started her up I wriggled the bike about & opened the throttle to get the fuel moving and left it for about an hour, then tried starting her and nothing. Then after a few seconds the engine just made a fast ticking noise not trying to fire up.
It the battery dead? The bike is in a warm room too in my house.
Help, I wanna ride it now!

the ticking is the soilinoid opening up but not enough juice to start her, thats why you get a ticking sound, charge the battery mate, but if its all white and waved (the battery) then might wana get a new one and a optimate
