HELP bike wont start
I parked my bike for the winter and decided to fire it up once in a blue so it doesn’t just sit in the garage the whole winter. Well the battery died so I went out got a float charger and took the battery out and left it charging for a day. well when I put the battery back in the bike still wont turn over but now it tries to turn and than all you get is clicking sound round around red + wire on the battery. Its a fast paced clicking sound. I don’t know much about the electrical stuff but I am starting to worry it might be my starter. or battery is no good anymore. I worry cause my bike (and I posted this before) used to die on me while ridding. I would just push it hard and it would just shut down on me. I was told it might be a bad connection to the battery or a kick stand censor. Either way I wont to start the bike I tried push starting it but the tires are so cold that it has no grip and when dropping the clutch the tires just slide. 
Can some one tell me why its clicking and if it is my starter or battery. Also is it safe to jump start from the car?
BTW its 02 with about 8k on it

Sounds like a dead battery. Float chargers only condition good batteries to optimum charge.
Get a new battery and check it again.

Battery is either dead, or you don't have good connections to it. 2amp charger for a couple of days, then ensure you have good connections... should start right up.
You can jump start it as well. You can have the car running if you don't have the jumper cables attached to your battery for very long.
