Honda VFR 750 RC24 89 Won't start noise on the starter Relay

Hello Everyone,
I'm riding this bike everyday since one year and the last week, I was not able to turn it on with the starter button.
If I push the bike with the second gear on, it will start straight away.
The battery have been charged.
And when I push the starter button, I have a clac-clac-clac on the starter Relay, do you confirm I have only this to change them?
Thank you for your help.

 

Battery may have voltage but not enough amperage. Have the battery checked and or replace it.....

 

Thank you!

The clac-clac from the starter relay doesn't say that the Relay is dead?
Can I put some gel Battery?

 

That noise usually means that it needs more amps! Easy way to check is with a pair of jump leads on a working car battery (WITH THE CAR ENGINE NOT RUNNING).

 

Alright thank you!
Yeah I just learn that today while reading the forum!!!

Do you have any clue for the gel battery?

 

There are various options for you - not sure any are honestly better than others - although most of my batteries are Yuasa.

Motorcycle batteries are 'pretty on the edge' & so worrying too much about it is pretty pointless - if they last more than a couple of years I'm happy.

 

The rattling sound comes from the starter solenoid: You press the button, the solenoid is magnetised and the contacts close to feed current to the starter motor. The current draw is too much for a sick battery to sustain so the voltage drops and the solenoid opens. That allows the voltage for the battery to "catch-up" so it can magnetise the solenoid closed again. And repeat...

 

Thank you for the explanation!

 

Battery swapped and it's running well. Thank you all.
I bought a battery ACID without the possibility to fill it up.
The polarity wasn't the same but it fit as well.
