Default 97 gsxr600 starting and ignition probs

ok i have a 97 gsxr600. the bike started perfectly fine and ran great. but the old battery was drained cuz so i charged it and tested it and they said the battery went bad so i bought a new one and replaced it. it started fine 4 times when i put the new one in that day. then i left the bike out for one day witout gettin it started at all and the day after it wouldnt start. i could here it clicking under the seat and all but the starter motor wouldnt turn over at all, so i thought maybe i got a bad battery again so i had that tested and it they said it was fine, they told me to try and fully charge it so i did. and i put it back in after i charged it over night and same thing happens i hear it clickin in the back but then i heard the starter crank once before it quit. im hopin the battery is bad too but anyone know of any other possible problems it could be? bad starter, alternator etc. i would take it to a mechanic but the closest one is still far from me and i have no way of towing it
