I have just got a 2012 Burgman 400.
Turn the key and all that happens is it clicks.
It won't start. The battery has been changed as well as the starter relay
Any suggestions please.

Welcome aboard.
Start with the easy stuff - is the side stand up and the cut-out switch set to run?

Welcome.
You have covered the two main culprits but depending on usage batteries soon flatten through lack of use. (Did you use a recognised battery or eBay bargain)
Have you tested the new battery voltage
Is the wiring loom standard or has extras been added (alarms)
Around 2011/12 Suzuki had issues with the right switch gear (affected GSX 750s as I recall & my intruder 800)
Otherwise as bluebottle states start with those items

I bought a Rob Hunter Battery, and charged it up before installing on the bike.

No it's not the side stand.
