I am new to this forum. I have a 2003 Honda CBR 600RR. I am having a problem with starting my bike right now. When I turn the key on and turn the ignition switch on, I see all the lights come on, the fuel pump primes, but when I try and start the bike, it wont turn over. I have the seat removed and when I press the starter button, I can hear the solenoid (the little box behind the battery that has the positive wire going to it) clicking. I pulled the fuse in it and it is good.
Could this little solenoid be bad?
Thanks in advance.

You could also try the search button in these very forums.
Probably a hundred posts about stuff like this.
Basic mechanical problems like the one you are describing are almost....almost universal problems with all makes and models of bikes.
Good luck.

I played around and figured out about the search option. I found a few that were "similar" to my problem.
I went and bought a batter charger, and it had an option to hard wire it to the battery that has a little connection that you can tuck away when your not charghing. I had it on the charger for a few housr and I went and the bike cranked up for me. I guess it was a dead battery. The weird thing is, is that I just bought the damn thing 2 days ago and it was dead when I took it out of the box.

What you bought was a "Battery Tender" and you should charge that battery overnight on 2amps.
