Try jumping it, or putting it on a regular charger.

Do not jump it. I wouldn't use a "regular charger"
Battery tender for a bike is sufficient enough.

Thanks for all the advice so far, I have not touched the bike yet but I am going to go over on lunch. She has been riding for 10 years and if it is just the kill switch I am going to laugh and laugh.

Further to this discussion the first thing I asked her "is the bike in neutral"??? She says of course I always leave it in neutral. Ten minutes ago someone else asks her if the bike was in neutral, same answer. Then she starts to think about it and then says to me "hey you were the last one to ride my bike when you parked it did YOU put it in neutral.
I think we may have found the problem.

It sure as heck will...although it may take a long time to charge a weak battery. Mine is rated at 800mA. So, in one hour it will charge the battery .8 Amp-hour. They are not intended to charge a fully dead battery...but it can do it.
