Sounds like the battery is flat they usually click when insufficient current to spin the starter. Get a trickle charger on it for a couple of hours and it should start straight up

As that is a new battery its fair to assume that the charging system needs testing

learn to bump start it, SVs are tricky in that you need to hold on the clutch while starting it though.

Usual thing , multimeter across the terminals should be a bit above 12volts,

bad recs ruin batteries ,

when the bike when in for service i got them to check to altenator and the said the charging cucuit was fine and kicking out enough
i have had the battery on trickle charge before as its about 3 weeks old now and every time it gets cold it seems to just loose all its power and then will not start again till it charged back up.

You may possibly have a duff battery - even if it is new. Why was the other battery replaced?

If the mechanic replced it, maybe you can have a word and try another battery in the bike for a few weeks and see if you get the same problems or not.

Are you sure you don't have a short circuit or something drawing power out of your battery?

WHILE THE BIKE IS TURNED OFF, connect an ammeter in between the battery positive lead and the terminal. (Make sure you connect it in series with the battery, not parallel, or there will be smoke and flames.) See what reading you get.
