A useful guide is linked in the Portal page of this forum:

http://hrsbstaff.ednet.ns.ca/bvogel/K100/download/bike-wont-start.htm

Go through this document to try and isolate your problem.

Has this motorcycle suddenly stopped working? Is it new to you and you've never had / seen it running?

The chattering is very indicative of a shot battery. I would suggest charging for a full 10 hours then try if it fails take the battery back and get it load tested. It wouldn't be the first time I have seen a crap, new battery.

before you do anything ...make sure that the earth cable to the gearbox is good

high resistance here could do exactly that ...no function on start ..eratic relay clicking and all that stuff ...

many have replaced the earth cable for something better

just a heads up
