First thing - the battery. Low charge will do this, even if lights, horn etc all show good.

Blue wire syndrome?
I'd start here before looking elsewhere....
Under one of the rear side panels, can't recall which but if you take the seat off you'll soon work it out, there is a block connector of wires. It's known for corrosion, leading to the symptoms you have. Check the wires, particularly the blue one, it's usually perished or covered in verdigris, replace/clean up as appropriate.

random click when i try to start the bike eny idea bike wont start it just clicks Random click  Assuming you have not done something to suddenly discharge your battery, like leaving the lights on, the first thing I would do is check that both battery terminals are tight. That would cause a click (starter relay) but the loose terminal would stop enough power starting the bike. The ignition lights and the starter solenoid would still work as normal as they require nowhere near as much current. Check the big connections on the solenoid (starter relay) too as they would cause the same problem. Other problems could be a faulty solenoid or starter motor connection. Could be a duff starter motor too of course. |

Yes, deffo the battery. Even if it's showing a reasonable charge on the tester, it's a good bet it's a duff battery.

Could well be battery. If not I'd go for starter motor brushes. |
