I can't help thinking it is a battery problem.

Have you tried using jump leads with a known good battery?

Have you tried shorting the solenoid terminals to take a possible faulty solenoid out of the equation?

Does the engine turn over at all on the starter?

If yes to the first two questions then it may be starter brushes.....

When my brushes were nearly gone, the solenoid clicked and starter did not spin. Rocked in gear then starter spun. Replaced brushes from Steve and all been fine since.

Did the TTR start OK on the new battery?
