Bike Won't Start
Sorry if this is some kind of repost, but I'm hoping you guys can give me a hand. Hopped on the bike this morning and it didn't wanna start. It's low on fuel, but I'm pretty sure it's got more than enough to start.
Besides that being a possible issue, the bike's electronics come on okay, but when I hit the starter button, I hear the bike making this buzzing sound. Thought it could be a loose connection somewhere on the battery, but it looks like the terminals are all good to go when I take off the seat and look at it.
Needless to say, I was angry at my situation. Life just jumps up and bites you in the crotch sometimes, eh?
Can you guys help me out?

You will need a hill, or better yet someone to push you (and continue to push when clutch is dumped) My g/f had to push start me when my '06's starter crapped out at last trackday of the year, starts easily with some traction and steady pushing.

Tried what...bumping it or having it stay charged? If it didn't stay charged enough to restart after about 15 min worth of riding either your battery is dead or you have a bad stator. Considering your earlier symptoms...you have a bad battery.
Easy tell...did you get it to bump start and could you ride it for any extended period of time...half hour? If so...it's your battery. Bike would die fairly quickly with an already dead battery and a bad charging situation.

If replacing battery, get a Ballistic or other brand lithium battery. More cranking amps than stock, at a 1/4 the weight. Battery chargers are real cheap these days,get one at Walmart for $25-30 and charge a few hours or all night. At least you can ride it then,and recharge if needed,until you get a new one.

Would love to get one, broke now. Maybe for Christmas or something. I know, I know. Crazy, but that's the way it's gotta be until I can fight my way through hell and reach employment heaven...

Then either charge it or jump it. I'm leaning towards battery still...
