Default Alternator Click

[blockquote]Hey so i was riding around today, and the tachometer started acting funny, like jumping up and down like it was trying to stay up, so i made my way home,and when i pulled into my drive way the biike just died. So i turned the key and all the lights didnt turn on. So i tried turning the key a few more times and the lights came on. So i pressed the start button, and it just clicks, not the battery clicking but it sounds like the alternator is clicking or sparking almost. I checked my battery connection and its all good! so it has to either be my spark plugs, or the alternator right?[/blockquote]

Or your ECU, regulator, chaffed wire, fuse, batteryetc. Too many alternatives to list. From the sounds of it, it seems like you have a dead battery. The clicking you hear is your starter trying to work. Test or charge the battery and check your fuses.
