Why don't you just jump start the bike with the battery from a NON-RUNNING car and see if everything works. That's a whole lot simpler place to begin than what you are doing. The clicking could just be the starter motor not getting enough juice. If the battery is that dead, you may not be able to start it with a running clutch-pop because your spark is way too weak.
You could also a bad starter solenoid and the starter is not being energized.
Anyone want to bet the problem is a bad battery?
