    I would imagine the battery is goosed also. Any chance you can get a volt meter across it and see what it reads?

    I've jumped mine of the car, no problems. Don't have the car running when doing this

    Surely a bump start would get it going‽

    Once you've verified the battery is OK, even on trickle charge a battery can die for other reasons. Check all your connections, give them a decent pull, and spray with WD40.

    Does it have an alarm? It could be in sleep mode or faulty

    Whip the battery out and give a proper charge if you can. Motorbike batteries start to get problematic when they get fully discharged though. Try a booster pack also.
