So I pulled up to a stop sign, but unfortunately that street was angled (higher on the right than on the left) and the bike went down to the left...

Someone helped me to raise it and I put it on the side stand. Then I got back on it and tried to start it but it wont start. The side stand was not down or any of those regular problems, The "chec" message wasnt showing so I started thinking its the battery. When i push the start button the engine turns but then starts clicking. So i pressed the horn button to check and there was a small and quick horn (only a beep instead of a beeeeeeeep) and that happens everytime i press it. The headlights look pretty dim.

What might have happened? maybe the battery took a hit and stopped working? othing else broke except for the turn signal.... I'm really frustrated, thinking of just selling the bike and saving me some headaches.
