The battery may be discharged too far to bump start it. Use booster cables, or put it on a charger for a few hours.

So - you turned it off with the kill switch, or how did this happen?

Don't know if this will help but when I had to bump start mine, I used second gear because the wheel would just skid in first. Are you giving it throttle when it catches?

It's a common noob mistake. There is a point of no return with killing a bike battery, it doesn't matter how new it is. If it completely drains of it's charge you will persistently deal with charge issues and risk compromising other components in your charging system. Try trickle charging it first, but if you find you have to trickle charge it after every time you leave your bike parked for more then a day or two - time for a new batt.

Yes. The battery is under the seat. What do you have a 250? or 125? If it's a 125 the bolt is situated on the inside of the rear seat. Remove that you'll see the bolt to remove the rider seat. Breeze compared to getting to the bat on a Ninja 250 = removing fairings... bit more annoying. Buy a trickle charger if you don't have one already. You can get it from CT or Walmart for 40 bucks its a good investment for winter storage purposes as well.
 
Did you get it to start? Y/N
Y = awesome! Time to go riding
N = Do you have a voltage meter?

Check the voltage of the battery. It needs to be at a decent voltage to turn it over. 10-12 volts should be enough. If it does start check the voltage on the battery while it's running. If the voltage isn't close to 14 volts then the bike isn't charging the battery.
It could either be the regulator or stator. I have a 2000 CBR600F4 and the regulator died. Bike started once it was replaced.
 
ok thanks for your support
got seat off and battery is easily accessible.
will go and try to jump from car (CAR 0FF)
if that doesnt work its off to crappy tire for a tricklecharger i guess
brand suggestions?

I would NOT try to charge it with the car. Get a trickle charger.... there's a difference in the amps of a car battery and a bike battery. Beware of bad advise.

There is no issue jumping a bike from a car as long as the car is turned off.

I'd never try it on my little 125, or 250 - Car batteries are far more powerful than bike batteries; car batteries have greater voltages than bike batteries and can easily overwhelm a bike's electrical systems.

Bigger bikes? I don't know... but personally I wouldn't risk it unless it has the same voltage.
