Do you keep it on a trickle charger?
Are there any lights that come on?
Take the battery out and have it tested. Odds are good that the battery terminals need cleaning and tightening.
Good suggestion but ... I don't think many people would understand what you meant by this. Not everyone goes directly to the EVO section where all the threads on EVOs are posted ... and most won't know where, at the top of that listing, is discussions on this topics that are "stuck" (sticky) at the top of the listing because they contain the best conversations on the topic. Maybe now they'll find them.

Need a little more info.
Is the battery dead for one.
Do you have lights?
If your battery is good and have lights try a new starter relay.
If you don't own a volt meter then you will need to get one!!!!!!!!!!!!
Battery is only a few months old. Had the stator replaced a few months back, it was fried. Doesn't click when trying to start. Have power when key is turned on. Rebuilt starter this time last year. Occasionally its on a trickle charger but when we go on a long trip, def not gonna bring the trickle charger and an extension cord along to keep the battery charged...
