Default problems starting up!!!

I just got my new motor put it and everything was running pretty good. until last night i was chilling with some friends and went to start my car and it didnt start.

i would turn the key, all the accessories came on as usual such as radio and lights on the dash, but when i push in the clutch i can hear the starter "click" but wont fire up. someone was telling me that it could be my main relay or something like that...
can you guys help me please...
95 gsr with type R head if that helps

the starter solenoid makes the click, doesnt mean the starter itself is good.

Jump the battery and see if it starts; sometimes when the battery is low, the starter clicks even when your dash and everything else is lit.
