Default F4i dont start

hi there, i have a 2002 honda cbr 600f4i that dont start! i took it out a week ago for a ride just to warm it up.. this friday! i started it up and it was runing with really low about 1000rpms. then slowly droped down to 500rpms and died. i figured leave it alone do to the weather. today i tryed to start it and now clicks but dos'nt turn on!.. anyone have an idea on what it could be?? how could it go to runing and driving smooth to no start!

Battery sounds low or bad. Have it tested.

They don't charge at idle and with a low battery, the ECU has a hard time working on any less than 12V.

What your describing sounds exactly like a battery. Clicking means not enough power to crank the motor so you get a clicking sound.

jump start your bike with your car. If it starts, but it dies on you, then it is probably the stator/alternator or something weird with your charging system.

If you jump it with a car, MAKE SURE THE CAR IS OFF

Skip the jumping it with a car, buy a good charger that will charge at 1-2amps that will turn off on its own when the battery is full.

Also, asking a question then telling people their answer is wrong (especially when so new) really doesn't come across all that well- at least not to me.
