That looks like a good deal. Mine seems to have bit the dust after 7 yearsBuy a smart charger and plug it in - http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/battery-tender-junior-0-75a-maintainer-0111940p.html
Good idea. I will try that first. I thought it was on the fritz because the green light would not stay constant...nor did it flash, it would just sort of flicker.Your Tender might be okay, check it with a voltmeter.
I had trouble with the battery terminal connector wires so now I just use the jumpers.
Turn the ignition on.
Put the bike in 4th gear.
Run beside it down the street and release the clutch enough to spin the motor. If you're lucky enough that the battery has enough charge left to run the fuel injection and ignition (if not the starter motor) and it turns over it might catch.
You can also jump start it from a car. Just be careful accessing the small battery terminals; don't short between the +ve terminal and chassis.
Once running keep it running for 20-mins to 1/2-hour to get a charge on the battery. If you have a tender or trickle charger you can just plug it in and try starting it in the morning.
That is some interesting suggestions. Curious have you done this with succuss. The 4th gear running part down street.

battery tender worked -- bike is back to starting
now, do I charge the battery every time I don't use the bike?? How long will this last for?
Battery drains less in the cold.
