Default Slim wont start

My bike was in the garage all winter and the battery tender I had it on got unplugged at some point, so the battery died. I charged it, my charger states it is fully charged. But when I turn the key the Neutral light, odometer, and engine light flash. Putting it on RUN I don't hear the fuel pump either. I've had the battery die before and charged it with no issues. Any ideas what this could be? I researched the forums and haven't seen this error combination of lights flashing.

And do not use your car to jump it , just go get or order a new battery on line .

Automotive type batteries and not like RV deep cycle batteries. You can't let them take a total dump like that and expect them to continue to come back to life. Time to buy a new one and take better care of it.

Remembering your PIN is good in any instance you have an issue with the FOB. Even if you lose your keys, you can still get home.

Time to trade it in. They're only good for one year. Didn't they explain that to you when you did the walk around of the bike?
