Mine is still on it's original battery, I bought it in July 2010 and have done 45,000 miles. It was on the optimate all winter and it 2 weeks ago started first prod of the button. I haven't used it since last October when we were on BST as I didn't need to change the time on the clock.
The clicking does sound electrical, I've had that before but I cant remember what I did to fix it. Are all the wires to the battery still tight? I had a problem with them not being tight once but cant remember the exact symptoms, apart from not starting. Other non starting causes have been a the 2 contacts on the alarm system under the pillion seat not making a decent contact as I had squashed too much under the pillion seat and the alarm system thought the pillion seat wasn't on.
