ZL 600 starts intermitently

Hi, my name is Thomas and as of late I have had intermitent starting problems with my 1996 ZL 600. The bike was sitting for about 6 months and when I started it up I needed to jump it, thats normal. It was working fine and then one day I kept having to jump it. I would start it up and drive it down to the local gas station and fill it up with gas and then when I would try and start it, the battery would crank but it wouldn´t start. I would have to get the bike jumped in order to get it started. This problem has been persistant over the past few weeks and I don´t know what the reason is for it. When I take the bike somewhere and I try to start it within 5 or 10 minutes of shutting it down, the battery will crank but it wouldn´t start. Eventually the battery would die because I was cranking it so much. I would have to let the bike sit and cool for a while before it would start again. CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME GUIDANCE ON WHAT THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM IS.
