Bike in garage for 4months wont start. HELP?
 
I moved to a diff city and it took me about 4 months to get my bike out of my parents garage, i tired to start the bike and it just wont start i checked the battery and it was dead then i charged the batt and the bike still wont start. every time i try to start it you can hear a clicking noise i think is the starter..not sure. oh yea the bike only has 2500 miles. i also tried push starting it and that didnt work. i dont know what else to do HELP!?

oh yea its a ZZR600 '05

I would get a new battery and start fresh. Clean the terminals of course.

Get a new battery. The old one is too far gone.

How old is the battery; original? If it's newer than that, just put a very light charge (1-2 amp) for a day or two. The "ZAP" 200-amp cell busting blasts will destroy (actually cook) your battery if you leave it connected very long without any load (i.e. starter draw) on it.
Do the zen thing;become one with your battery.....:)

if its not a sealed battery, ensure theres water in it!!

no electrolyte=no power..

like jeff said. no load and all charge will kill a battery and literally cook it dry, and like drag said, clean tham terminals!! (if applicable)

good luck and welcome to KF!!
