Starting problems.

Hey there. I'm having a few starting problems and I will outline them in as few words as possible.

My GS was starting fine. No issues or instances that raised alarms.

I killed the battery through fault of my own.

I live in an area where the closest walmart is about 2 hours away and succumbed to my impatience for a new battery/trickle charger.
I jumped my bike off my car(car was not running) two or three times. On the third jump ( I know I should have not kept jump starting it ) the bike would not start. All lights work.

I Recharged the battery and now this is my big problem -

Issue 1: Neutral indicator does not light up. ( even when in neutral ) Bike will not roll like it should be in neutral either.
Issue 2: The starter does not function. It won't click or make any sound when I try to start it with the switch.

Note : Fuse is not blown . All other outside electrics work. Headlight, turn indicators, horn etc...


My assumption is I either blew the starter relay, or the starter motor. What do you guys think?
I thought I would get feedback before I dug into the bike to inspect the starter. I imagine there is no issue with the switches mainly because everything I did leads me to believe jumping it caused the the problem. And the neutral light puzzles me a bit.

Any assistance would be helpful!

Thanks,
Kevin
