New member could use some help in Michigan

My 2005 R3 has been sitting for 1.5 years I've installed a new battery, power comes on, but "clicks" when I try to start. Any advice on where to begin would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Just bought the battery today, but I have it on the tender now to make sure it's optimized.

even though they are new don't mean they will start the rocket
they have to be full charge to start the rocket.

Got it. I have it on a Novo Genius 5. I'll try again when it's fully charged.

You were 100% correct. Thank you for the advice. Going to put some sea foam in the tank, figure out how to change the oil, and get back on the road.
