i have just bought a 1988 gsxr750 , i rode it home no problem but when i turned it off and tried to start it again i just get a loud ticking and the engine doesnt turn over?

Sounds like your battery is dead.

sorted it , thanks , turned out the bikes slightly overcharging the battery and its cooked it over the last year the lad had it before me...

Did you correct this? What was it, the regulator?

I think I am having the same problem. I have an 00 750 for the track. Had a bad rectifier that had melted the wires going to the stator... Both of those were fixed...

So I do a track day, and after the fourth session, the bike won't start. I get a click click click... But no turn over... So I am thinking I either left the key on, or that maybe it is not charging. Friend has a portable jump pack, so I plug it on, and Vooom... Fires right up... Go to grid up and the FI light comes on and bike dies. I figure that since the bike was not moving, it ran out of juice... Bring it back... Won't turn over and I see the Ignition fuse is burnt. Check the battery, it is reading 13.27V and is HOT...

That sounds like the 15 amp ignition fuse is blown.

I was specifically wondering if Magoo figured out why his battery was getting overcharged.
