One extra to check that I've done by accident is setting the kill switch to off.

Sounds like the battery if I'm understanding right. You should keep a battery tender hooked up specially for that amount of time.

You can try to jump it off of a car, don't start the car. Here's some info on batteries if you have the means to test it you'll know what state it's in.

It takes a lot less voltage to light a bulb that turn over a starter.

If you don't have a battery tender I'd get one, it will charge it slowly unless it's below 3 volts. may take a few days depending but you'll have it for the future. I have an older one not sure of function if different on newer one but red light comes on for charging then green when charged. Maintains at full charge after that without overcharging. I have one of these I use for my lawn mower battery, you could cut off the clips and add quick connects to have a permanent connection to your bike. It works well and cheaper than an official brand "battery tender"
My "battery tender" only puts out 750mAh, the Schumacher puts out 888mAh

You could pull the battery and take it to Auto Zone if you have them and have them test it. It could be gone which a replacement would be necessary at least you'd know where your at
sorry I wasn't offering one just a suggestion on one for purchase that has worked well for me. Do keep us posted on your findings. BTW the sound a fuel pump makes is a hum type of sound for only a few seconds when first turning on the key, make sure to be in a quiet setting to hear itThat's a good idea. I will do that. Also, really appreciated the battery tender offering even though I planned to purchase a new one.

It's a little under charged, should be 12.6. Should be some how to vids on you tube. Have a look at the air filter while you're there.

He's about a 1/2 a volt off from full charge, it's been sitting for 4 months, I'd at least try to charge it before buying as new one. The Harley I had if not on a trickle charger wouldn't start after a month, one day back on the charger and would fire right off and give no further problem

Self Diagnosis Plug?
I was going over my wiring diagram for my Gen1 and noticed two connections for a self-diagnosis port of some kind. Where are these located and what do they look like? The biggest question are these usable for the do-it-yourselfer? I can't find any info in my service manual. Randy

If you don't have an "owners manual" you can download one from this Kawasaki link.
Also you can usually find a CD version of a shop manual for around $20 on Ebay

Glad to hear it! Now lesson learned, keep full tank with stabilizer in it and keep a battery tender on it. Don't interrupt it by just starting it and letting it idle, if you have to interrupt it, ride it long enough to get it hot, no short rides. Glad I could be of some help. Enjoy yourself and be safe. You're always welcome here, who knows maybe we'll get you on a Versys, basically the same motor.
You are welcome Andrew
