Time to check your charging system. Sounds like your reg/rec went out and isn't charging the battery. The bike ran off the battery until it was dead and now the bike is done.

Get the battery fully recharged and then test your system using this:

Also check you headlight wiring harness. The F4i has a bad tendency for the headlight wire harness plug to come loose. When this happens bike will just die and not run. They have a safety switch( which shuts bike off if you drop it ) it is part of the headlight harness. So therefor when the plug comes loose, Bike doesn't run.
