Well my 08' Started having problems yesterday. If it was my fault it would be because i didn't warm up the bike properly on multiple occasions. Right after taking off I'd usually go on the freeway and ride it normally to work. But 95 percent of the time I warm the bike up for atleast 4 minutes then id take of into high rpms less than 5k mostly all the time though.
Before the bike had this failure the weirdest thing id notice would be that maybe a few times the running lights wouldn't turn on right away after turning the bike on or id do a restart and they'd work fine.
This problem started yesterday when the I was going home and the bike just sputerred a lot at first but after a bit i got home without anymore of that. I got home and the fan only ran for a few seconds. I figured the bike didn't need the fan because i didn't run the engine that hard on this trip. Then Later as I was preparing to leave again I took the bike about three blocks and the check engine light came on the bike to me seemed like it was running fine just that the light was on. Then I got home the fan didnt run. Today now im having the problem on the video.

There's the video of the bike failing to turn on now. Any ideas what it might be guys? Maybe I can fix it before i take it to a tech.
Another problem is that when I sometimes hit the front brakes a bit hard to stop I'll hear and feel something like a clack noise. I can feel it on the handlebars. Any ideas to what this might be too?
