Welcome from Washington State, hope you enjoy the site. How did you check the voltage regulator? Did you perform the A/C check?

Well, if the VR is bad and starter just clicks, it sounds like a flat battery. If the VR is bad why wouldn’t you replace it? Test if the battery is OK first. bad VR might have overcharged and boiled your battery. BTW do you have low beam working? Overcharging tends to blow the bulb…

If your bike has a starter relay it sounds like a bad one. If not then a wire to the ECH is lose....
