I've got a 2000 CBR 929RR. I just replaced the battery thinking it was dead, rode it for one day, then went to start it! And it won't even crank over! What the hell could be wrong!

Probably not charging. Check the voltage at the battery when running.

The above are great answers. When you press the start, do you hear a "click"? If so, it might be your starter. Brand new batteries need to be fully charged before put into the bike. Some bikes wont start if the voltage in the battery is too low. Do you have a loose connection in the battery lead(s)?

First off, did you fully bench charge the battery before installation? Even though manufactures claim the battery is shipped fully charged, it losses some charge sitting on the store shelf for Gawd knows how long before it sells. Put it on a charger overnight.
If that's not the problem, get a decent volt meter/multi-meter:

Check across the battery terminals (positive to positive, negative to negative), with engine running, rev it up, voltage SHOULD rise with RPM's.
If NOT, then you have a charging system problem, either a fuse, a bad alternator, bad voltage regulator, or a bad/broken/shorted/disconnected wire.

sounds like it isnt charging.Charge the battery, start tha bike put a voltage meter on the battery you should get reading of 13.5 to 14 volts if its less your charging system has a problem. get a shop manual and it will explain in detail how to troubleshoot your bike.

check your;
1) contacts at the battery terminals
2) the fuse
3) the whole wire system
4) your start switch
5) is the battery the one specified for your bike?

yes, there is something wrong with your bike, try pouring some rice in the tank, then put a bowl by the exaust, presto, you now have breakfast
