Hey guys i purchased a MC-22 1992 CBR 250 RR two months ago, and it goes fine. usually when i want to go for a ride i always warm it up or else it'll just die out, now on cold days i realised that when i first crank it, it wont turn on immediately so i'd have to crank it a few times to get it started. 3 days ago it was pretty cold and i was trying to start it up but it wouldn't start at all, i kept on cranking it for about 4 minutes when i noticed the crank's sound and the lights would slow down on me. i decided to stop and to leave it for tomorrow where there is sun but as i try to crank it, it sounds like the battery is about to go flat. i'm pretty new with these bikes so i don't know what to do. thanks for the help

Pretty common in winter in cars and bikes.
Try charging the battery up first before buying a new one.
Also if it doesn't start, give the cranking a rest as you can damage your starter motor

Charge it.
Don't crank for longer than 10 seconds at a time, leave it to rest (cooldown) for a little bit before starting again.

Remove seat.
Undo the battery terminals (Philips screwdriver or 8mm socket usually) and tuck them away from the terminals/battery.
Clamp on the battery charger to the battery terminals and turn the charger on.
Come back later when it's charged.

Are you using your choke?

Are you sure it has fuel in it, fuel tap turned on?
