Default Bike won't start.....HELP!!!!!

About a week ago I noticed my battery was getting weaker...............so I bought a new one, everything has beeen fine until last night. I get home jump on the bike, go to fry's, come in and out, bike starts but I notice it sounded a lil weak when it started. So I went to go eat somewhere, come out to start the bike and there's not enough juice to start...WTF???? So I jump start it and get home. When I got home I shut her off and tried starting again, this time it wouldn't even turn over, the headlights and that lil whine sound comes on..................but when I hit the start button, I just hear a click....and thats it..........................How can you tell if your starter is going out? (besides not starting)


Background: i have a 1997 GSXR600
