Like these guys said either you are draining your battery from a loose connection or a wire short.
Or your not charging you battery when the bikes running. maybe a bad voltage regulator. To see if this is happening but the battery on a charger start it up and you should have between 14-14.4 volts when bike is running. Anything less than 14 and it's not charging.

@Heather O'day you will get crap from us until you do an intro......
Where did you buy the battery? Did you ride it at least 20+ miles? If you bought a Walmart battery that's been sitting on a shelf for awhile, it may not work.....

Your voltage regulator looks like the image below and is under the front bottom frame usually.....but it sounds to me like a bad battery......

To check your starter solenoid without a multimeter, read this thread:

Thankyou!

Looking forward to retirement
I detect slyness, is Mrs O'day trying to get info so she can go ask Mr O'day," why don't you check the connections on the battery, the connections on the starter. Make sure their tight test for a possible ground to see if it's grounding the wiring harness under the gas tank which some models were prone to and look at getting a RIP EHC honey!"

I should've put Walmart in quotes...I meant if ANY battery sits on a shelf too long it can go bad. If he has the original EHC (brain), they suck a lot of voltage...battery won't fully recharge if not driven at least 20+ miles.....as @liferider said, it's probably a loose connection/short, only thing that should make it go clickety click click is not enough power....check voltage on battery when running-should be 14+ volts, if not running, battery should read at least 12 volts....

No slyness! Honestly just looking for advice as to what else it may be!
