My 05' GS500F won't start, new battery, just getting a click, and sometimes a whine. Starter relay?

Question

think i left the power on a few days, had to jump it, now with new battery, it won't start, just makes a click, and an almost inaudible whine from near the battery by what i think is the starter relay, any suggestions.

Answer 1

First check it starts when you jump it, the new battery is a dud. If not check for any bad/rusted wire connections (At the battery and the thick earth wire that runs to earth connection. Starter motor can be bad, need to check that by pro. Relay contacts inside the relay might be dirty. Thats if it clicks but power do not go through. Disconnect the power wire that runs between the starter and the relay and momentaraly touch it to positive on the battery (With gears in neutral!) to see if starter turns OK.  

Answer 2

Run a jumper wire to test your starter, if your starter runs its your relay thats bad.
