Solved - Battery Flat?

[QM]

Okay dumb question time.

I came to start my CG125 this morning and it wouldn't start... The lights come on but when I press the starter I just get a clicking noise and the headlight goes out. I'm guessing that the battery is flat but am not 100% sure.

100% flat battery mate. Try bumping the bike or charging the battery, but if it's just died like that maybe new battery time.

Bump started the bike and took it for a run for about 40 minutes got home left the bike for 10 mins and tried to start it and got a big fat nothing.

So I guess that its new battery time.

Yep, they do just go over time. For a 125 it shouldn't be too much for a new one.

Okay fitted a new battery and the damn thing still won't start. Lights come on and when I press the starter I still get the clicking sound but thats it... Any ideas?

Starter solenoid? If it's dead-shorting it'll dim the lights out, tick and won't activate the starter.

Try getting someone to knock it firmly a few times with a screwdriver handle while you engage the starter.
