i own a 04 zx6r its my first bike so im unfamiliar with the mechanics of it. the problem is when i try to start my bike and press the ignition all i hear is a single click but it i can hear a whining noise like the fuel pump or something. any suggestions on what it could be?

Have you checked the battery? Is the starter engaging? Is the bike turning over? sounds like it might be a dead battery

Try hooking up a battery tender then try it or roll/pop start it and see.

battery could gone, or poor connection. try wire brushing your connecting points for your battery making sure theres a good connection.

bought a new battery but still doesnt start. all i hear is the starter solenoid clicking multiple times when i hit the iginition switch. any suggestions on why my bike will not start. i checked the amperage from the positive lead to the starter. it is putting out 30 amps. is that good or bad?

Sounds like the starter went bad

did you charge the new battery at all? it might still be dead even though it's a new battery.

The battery came fully charged but I checked it anyways and it was at 12.6 volts. So mostly i think it's the starter hopefully not though. ImmA check the wirings and keep you guys up to date.

was the bike running fine then one day wouldn't start?

Not familiar myself with bike starters, but if you're not even hearing it turn the engine over it could be the culprit. Especially since you know the battery is good.

well i was riding it this past sunday. then when i got home it just died out on me. so i started it back up it ran for about a minute then shut off.. so now everytime i try to start it all i hear is the solenoid clicking.

maybe there's a killer after you!

try a push start and see if it remains running. The fact that it stalled out versus not start back up could be indicative of a different problem. Still try that and see....
