I am not sure about my battery charger because it says the battery is fully charged after 30 minutes. So I get about a haft of minute of trying to start the bike before the battery goes died. So Jeffrey could be right.
If my charger is the problem (which sucks it brand new) then maybe I could charge the battery and hook up jumper cables.

-Get a new battery
-Check the air pressure in your tires
-Do a good pre-ride inspection...fasteners, lights, etc.
-Check your oil.
-If you didn't put stabil in your gas when you parked it, suck it out with a hand pump and put fresh gas in it.
-Make up for lost time & ride the **** out of it!

you havnt rode you bike in a while.
Obviously charge the battery. I have not touched my street bob in a few months due to a move and it being 105 outside.
I got the battery charged up, but is there anything else I should look at?
I can get the bike to it to turn over, but not fire up (edit). Also when I turn the bike switch on, there used to be a kinda buzzing sound. Now that is not happening.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

There was about a quarter of a tank. You think if a mix it with fresh gas, that I wont have to suck it out?
If the gas is bad. Do i have to get the bad gas out of the lines, fuel pump, extra?

I will replace the battery. Not hearing the fuel pump put me into a little of a panic.
I told myself to start the bike every couple of weeks, but when i do it sets off a whole parking garage of car alarms. Which is awesome, when your driving away from the apartment complex...

I'm no expert but from those I know who have EFI, any air in the fuel line is not good. An air pocket in the fuel line can prevent fuel flow. Purging air from the fuel line (assuming there is any) is a task that requires more than hand tools...You could scour the DIY section for some more info on this.
