Not starting gssr 600 telefonica 2002, clicking sound
Battery seems fine, 30 fuse looks normal but clicking sound seems to be coming from box positioned aft of the seat. One click for each time I hit start switch. Sound familiar to anyone?

Three possible problems:
1) Your battery is low if it's multiple clicks when you press the starter.
2) If you press the button and there's one loud click then everything goes dead (lights go out) you have a loose connection somewhere in the starter circuit. Go through and tighten all the connections
3) Multiple clicks can also be the solenoid has crapped out, but with a new bike this is unlikely.
More likely you have a low charge on the battery or a loose connection. What makes you say the battery is fine?

Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

The battery is new 4 months, the bike sounds strong vs a bad battery. I put the charger on it, I hope that is all it is. The lights are bright. The clicking noise is only once- when I hit the start button, but loud - I don't recognize the sound. The sound seems to be coming from the box with the fuse and the wires under the seat. I am not sure what that is but I am trying to get a manual for my bike ordered today. I know the sounds of my bike and that is not normal. The help is very much appreciated.
I hope the charge is all it is.
Thanks,
Laura

Batteries don't make a noise.
As said above,
that clicking noise is your starter solenoid. It indicates one of three things.
1) Your battery is low if it's multiple clicks when you press the starter.
2) If you press the button and there's one loud click then everything goes dead (lights go out) you have a loose connection somewhere in the starter circuit. Go through and tighten all the connections
3) Multiple clicks can also be the solenoid has crapped out, but with a new bike this is unlikely.
A bike battery will not be able to turn the starter below aprox 12.8volts.
A bike battery will light up the lights at 10 or sometimes ever fewer volts, so a bright light is not an indication of a good battery.
