go to auto store and get JUMP STARTER. If you haven't ridden much this season the battery needs good charging. Connect jump starter to battery and it should start with NO problems. When it does start go for a ride and try to keep RPMs above 5K so the battery can charge.
Have fun and be safe.
PS if you don't feel like riding, instead of JUMP STARTER get the wall charger for auto or motorcycle batteries. Plug it in and let it charge for 12 hours or so. This should work fine.

or you could push start it.  pick up a motorcycle battery tender and keep that on the battery when you've got it stored.

Try turning the pet-chicken to PRI when trying to start it, just remember to turn it back to ON once it fires up again

try to fix the problem on your own. This way you can learn something and when the warranty is gone you will be able to fix the problems by yourself (you will not have to pay anything to the stealer). If you take it to the stealer all joy of fixing the bike is gone and knowledge you could gain is also gone...
if you have tried all of the ideas and none worked then take your bike to the shop and have them fix it.

just don't mess to much around to do not void the warranty.
good luck
