If it wont start by jumping it from a car the bat is not the problem.
Check the ground, also check if you are getting power to the starter.

there is a ground connection to the side case above the left shift lever. clean it with some sand paper and re-connect it.

Ok, I found out that if I keep trying to start it up, really fast, after a few times it turn on! I either have a magic touch, or I think that it is indeed the batter.

I had this problem 2 weeks ago. The starter relay is what is clicking. Like Hossblur said there is enough juice to supply the lights but not enough to crank the engine over. I wouldn't recommend jumping from a car but definately put your battery on a trickle charge and make sure all connections are tight. I guarantee that'll work. If your battery doesn't take or hold a charge you need a new battery. hope this helps. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Ok....one more question....I found out it was a battery, got a new one....put the acida and what not, and now when I install it, I get one wire thing connected, but when I try to do the other one, it sparks and the quad jumps. How do I install it?
