You said ur kill switch is in the on position it needs to be in the off position cause if u have it on the on position it won't start

Amigo, his needle is sweeping so he must have the Killswitch set properly.

Jump it. Let it run or ride it awhile. If it holds a charge then keep a tender on it.

This worked - jumped it with my Jeep and let it run for a good while. I attached it to a charger and hope it gets a full charge overnight. Thanks for the help!

Be careful you do not over charge the battery.

Tender will not do it.
These motors need juice and are fussy about a fully charged battery.
I recommend a good charger and a jump starter to carry on the bike.

A battery tender works fine on both of my bikes. I just realize it is a slow trickle charger/battery maintainer. Not useful for a jumpstart or quickly revive a drained battery. Perfect for leaving hooked onto the bike while I am away from it for a few weeks.

Lift the seat & check that all electrical connect are true ( tight ). ground to engine, positive to starter. This maybe overkill but at least you will be sure of what you can't see.

My roadster eats batteries and requires a new one every couple years.
I also use a tender, but I find it also necessary to have a good shop charger handy.
I further carry a jump starter with me for those times when my or someone else's battery goes DOA - very handy.

The jump starter batteries are handy. One of my saddle bags is full, with a jump battery, a small compressor, (12 volt), tire plugs and a couple of bungee cords. Being on the side of the road with a flat tire, or dead battery ain't no fun at all! And running a small compressor off your bike battery will work, and fill your tire, but you just might find that you sucked too much juice out, to start the bike when you're done. "Don't ask"
