A few questions so I can help. Is this a Suzuki motorbike or a car? What EXACTLY does it do when you turn the key? How did you 'check for electric'? A vehicle battery should have between 12.6volts to 13.2 volts.
When you turn a starter motor over it needs a large amount of volts to power it, anything under 10 volts and it will struggle. Even a fully charged battery can struggle to turn a starter motor if it is old or faulty.
Try this. First look at the battery and check the terminals are clean and tight. Sometimes it can be as easy as that. Turn the key and look and listen carefully. Try to start the engine. Do you get absolutely nothing and no dash lights? Do you get dash lights which go off when you start the bike but you only get a quiet 'Click'? Do you get dash lights which go off and then a louder 'Clunk'? Does the engine turn over but it's very slow and lazy?
Absolutely nothing suggests a dead or totally flat battery and a lazy, slow starter is a low charge in the battery. A Quiet click could be the Starter Relay and a louder 'Clunk' could be the starter solenoid or the starter itself.

Make sure you battery is fully charged before trying again. If it starts and drains again then you have an alternator that needs replaced. If it is fully charged and you still get nothing but a clicking then you need to replace the starter.
A mechanic would check for voltage at the starter. You should have battery voltage on the large cable, and power on the small wire when you turn the key switch to start. There is a clutch switch or neutral safety switch in the circuit between the starter and the key switch that could have failed.
either you have a bad connection to your battery or,, you have a bad starter. no other solution. if it clicks when you try to start it and the batterys fully charged,you're getting fire to the starter and it's trying to start,but the starter bendix isn't kicking out.which means it's a bad starter. thank you for choosing fixya.com
When you turn your key to start
your engine, it just clicks, right? If so, more than likely this is due
to a bad battery. Even though your battery may appear to be fully
charged, it may have a dead cell, or worse. If you get a jump, does the vehicle start? If so, replace your battery.
Possible sources of the problem if the engine does not crank or the relay clicks:
It sounds like a loose wire to the starter, check the wiring going to the starter for any corrosion, breaks and make sure all the bolts and nuts are tight.
first check the battery output,should be 12.8volts(roughly)then if fully charged and the clicking is still stacato try the starter relay.(thats what clicks)
