Default ZX7R Starting Problem

ZX7R will not start. The battery is fine, we checked and cleaned, I am pretty sure it is the ignition or the starter...when we tap the ignition sometimes the accesory lights will come on but when we try to start it nothing. Anyone have any suggestions.

I need a whole forum, lol. I think my bike is just made at me for messing with her so much lately so she's taking a break.

alright have you all heard of this...so we took the gas tank and airbox off to see if any wires were pinched or anything weird. Well we hooked the battery charger up to the batttery for ****s and giggles, eventhough we already nknew it was good, and turned the key in the ignition to the on position. This time we got lights but when we hit the starter button, the lights dim and nothing happens except the junction box starts tweaking out and making noise. So we check all the fuses again and they look fine.

When we take the battery charger off and put the key in the ignition it takes a few seconds and we will get some dim lights but as soon as we hit the starter button nothing except of course the strange noise from the junction box...

Why would the junction box be vibrating and making noise? Has anyone experienced this?

hahahaha, so what volts were you getting? A lack of volts will cause a relay to chatter and make that noise. I am not saying it is the battery, but a voltage drop to a relay will cause the same as you described.
