Battery is fully charged? other electrics are powered up? In gear with kick-stand down? does the engine turn over? check fuse?

More info is needed!

Sounds like the starter and/or solenoid based on what you have done. Either the starter is bad or the solenoid isn't switching the starter.

magic 8 ball says battery has a cell going bad. Enough amperage delivered to run the lights, but not enough to turn the starter/solenoid over.

just a longshot and I HOPE this is not your problem, but pull the stator cover off and see if the intermediate gear is getting jammed due to a broken boss on the stator cover and engine block... although rare, it does happen

If it was my bike I would be praying that the magic 8 ball is right and I would try another battery before digging into the solenoid. (most motorcycle shops will have a shop battery for testing purposes... hopefully you can borrow another bike battery from somewhere.)

It's probably the battery. The clicking is the solenoid shorting the battery to the starter, and the starter doesn't have enough juice to turn the bike over. No noise, no start is probably something else, intermediate gear is a possibility (I had that problem, fixed with JB weld and saftey wire!), as is solenoid and starter. Simplest thing is a battery. Put it p to a car battery even, if it doesn't kick over with that big low resistance battery then something else in the starting system is dead. How's your charging system? Still have the stock R/R? That'll eat batteries, and cause your problem on a regular basis.
