I went out to start my Hyper yesterday and when i pressed the started there was just a clicking nose. I tired it serveral times and then she did start. It then happened again later on and I did notice that the top right hand orange light was on, Is this a serious problem or is it a loose connection or has any of you guys had the same prolem?

Sounds like it might be a loose battery terminal, (or dead battery.) Usually the clicking is the starter solenoid pulling in but there is not enough current flowing to turn the motor over.
I hope that's all it is.

yeah, the clicking sound usually points to a battery issue.
dod you checked the voltage indicator on dash? if its lov, the numbers should blink (i think under 11.5V but not sure)

did you happen to put the key in "P" instead of "LOCK"?
i did this once on one of my other moto's.
put the battery on a charger, and you should be good to go.
