HELP! WTF is wrong with my CBR
I have a '03 CBR 600F4i
the problem: bike won't kick on lights, pump won't kick on, and ultimately can't get the bike to start.
NOTE: the clock works when the key is turned off but once the key is on my display goes blank. Also, if the ignition stop button is in the 'on' position the display will flicker slightly showing the "--" for the speedometer and the green
"N" neutral indicator
when problem originated. bike was running fine, I pulled up to stop and as I attempted to position the kickstand my heel clipped the shifter and I stalled my bike. Immediately after, the bike would no longer start. I've never had issues with the bike NOT starting. I tried dumping the clutch while moving and the motor would try to start and did for a brief moment a couple times but would then die out. I tried jumping the motorcycle but once the cables were removed the engine quickly starts to die. Kind of like when you run out of gas completely.
I'd love any help as to how I can fix this or diagnose and pinpoint what exactly is the issue. Fuses? Stator? Relays? Battery? Rectifier?
Thank you and I appreciate any knowledge that can be shared to a novice in terms of motorcycle maintenance. HAPPY 4th of July

Sounds to me like you jumped it out of time when you accidentally kicked it in gear, pull the valve cover see if the timing marks line-up... Also the notorius cct really affected the F2's and F4's the most that might be the reason it jumped time if it did check it out let us know.

This^^ sure sign something's up with your charging system, most likely the rectifier.

Start the bike with the jump leads, but leave them connected. Now connect a multi meter across the battery terminals and with the engine running, check the voltage. It should be 13.5-14.2 volts and go up and down as you rev the engine. If you do see an increase as above then the charging system is ok. Now remove the jump leads and check the battery voltage again. If the engine dies and the battery voltage has dropped to below 12 volts then it's time for a new battery.
