95 zx9 starter problems

I have had my bike for almost 3 years and the problem has gotten progressivley worse. the problem starts when the bike sits for 2 or more days. i will turn the key on and i have no lights and it wont start. i will pull the clutch in and out 4 or 5 times and the lights will come on. but the bike still wont start, so i have to bump start it. i can ride it all day and turn the bike off and it will start right up. sometimes i will have to hold the starter button down and keep pulling in and letting off the clutch and it will start. but as soon as i let the bike sit for a day or more it wont start. i have checked the clutch swith and actually bypassed it and it dont help. i have checked all the plugs and that starter solenoid. everything is getting power when its supposes to. the battery is charged. everytime i hit the starter button i here a click in the fuse box under the seat, so i replaced it and it did nothing. so i guess my question is should i get a new starter for it?but why would the lights not come on when you turn the key on if only the starter was bad. i have read quite a few forums and havent ran across anyone with a problem like mine. so any help would be greatly appreciated.

The lights on a ZX9R shouldn't come on until the starter kicks over or at least tries to. My first guess would be starter relay, If not that then the ignition could be going out.
