Charge up the battery, try again to start it. Have a can of starter fluid to give it a "whiff" in the air box to help get past the stale gas in the carb. I keep a float charger on both of our bikes thru the long winter and try to fire them up and if its warm enough that day, take a short ride around the neighborhood. Helps keep the spring wake up call problems to a minimum. Mike the Aspie

You probably need a new battery
Last winter I did an experiment. Not really on purpose, mostly just by being lazy and dumb. I had 3 motorcycles in my garage and I didn't trickle charge the batteries on any of them. I had to buy 3 new batteries in the spring.
Not charging your battery does more than make it not charged. It's probably bad. If you charge your battery, you may get a good voltage reading from it with a multimeter, but as soon as you crank the engine, I bet it drops way down. You should try that - crank it with the voltmeter connected. If it drops way below 10V, you have a bad battery. If you bought a new battery and need to fill it with acid, make sure you follow the instructions. You have to wait a bit, then charge it for a long time. I have a video about that here: |
