Sounds like a voltage regulator problem....clicking at the starter solenoid is an indication of a dead battery....since You are not mechanically able to trouble shoot the voltage regulator problem Your cheapest fix will be to wire a Battery Tender to the battery and charge it overnight....Make sure the Fluid Level in the Battery is Correct.......
It is a new battery, but I have been watching a couple of videos, and I understand your comment.. Because I charged the battery, and within a few minutes it said it's full, tried to start and it just sounded tired and took a while for the battery to kick in the sluggishly stopped all together.. Which indicates a dead battery.. Is it possible for a new battery to be a dud?
Try touching a screwdriver across the large terminals of the starter solenoid and see if the starter runs stronger...You may have to change the solenoid....Solenoid is the device that is clicking.......
Hi Joe, it's the battery and solenoid that I just replaced, the problem is still there, it just ticks louder than the old one
Try connecting a 14 gauge wire from the positive post on the battery being careful not to touch it to the bike to avoid arcing.....unplug the small wire from the solenoid and touch the 14 ga. wire you have connected to the battery to the terminal where the small wire was plugged in...The Solenoid should run the starter strongly...if not... the starter is bad....If this bike was hard to start, that's an indication of hard use of the starter and related components.....

SOURCE: Car will not start after engine is hot .Will not even turn over.
Hi,in many cases the starters dont work when they get hot because they are getting bad when it does not start ,try to start it by turning the key on and with a screw driver touch both cables at the starter to check if it start,
SOURCE: Current drain
Check the light under the hood, the switch may be bad and the light stay's on all the time and over the visor. Check to make sure the vanity light is off also. It's just a start and i have known also that the 4X4 actuator will drain too. Keep me posted, be glad to help and it sounds like it's going to be a gremlin to find the battery drain.

Yeah, you have a short somewhere in the electrical system, or your alternator is overcharging.

Check that the clutch is in, kick stand up, and neutral light ablaze. Then try your start button. When you had it running and hit the button, the starter engaged at a slower speed then the bike engine was turning, which led to the stall. The stall means your starter works. If the starter works when the engine is running then it is wiring. Check your kick stand wiring along with the clutch wires which plug in on the handlle bar or where the clutch cable enters the engine.
