My 99' Suzuki Bandit 600 will not start!!!?

[Bandito]

Hi All,
my Bandit 600 has been giving me problems,first the cold weather killed the battery,I charged it up and put it back on,the bike tried to turn over but couldn't and eventually killed the battery. I recharged it and checked the plugs, put it back on and tried again. After about 10 seconds there was a click and then it just clicked only. I then connected the bike to my car,and with it running tried again, it tried to start up again so Im guessing that the battery is knackered,anyway,I kept on trying and it almost fired up but then it clicked out again!
Now it only clicks,I pulled off the cover of the starter motor cable and the lead was really hot. Is my starter motor broken? Hope someone can help me!! Thank you!

You are trying to hard just buy a new battery! The longer you crank the hotter the wiring will get.

try throwing it in a pond or off a cliff, OR in a scrapyard

Hey, im having similar trouble as you at the moment (i have a bandit 600 too) What colour is your spark? Im getting an orange coloured spark and i think my battery is dying quick aswell. I think your starter motor will be fine, ive tried my for ages to get started but no joy
