Thanx. You or anyone else wouldn't know what the problem is with my NSR.

When I push the start button it says "click" but nothing happens.

It could be a bad battery, I will try with a new one soon.
What else could be wrong? Please help.

Check your wiring as well. The click you can hear is the starter relay operating so check the wires from there to the starter.

Do your lights work?

Unlikely to be the battery. Will it bumpstart?

My guess is that the wiring is dodgy somewhere between the starter ralay and the starter or the motor itself is buggered. Check the wires first (start with the connectors).

This might help a bit. When I turn the indicators on, the head light and all other lights seem to fade a bit. But just when the indicator lights is on. It's the same with the brake lights. Every time I brake. All other lights fade a bit.

Thats fairly normal, its just because you're draining more curent with the other lights.
