I let my bike sit in the garage for 9 months last year without winterizing it (really dumb on my part). I know I had to get the fuel drained, carbs cleaned, but I really didn't have the space, tools and courage to do it by myself. I called up my local dealer and they hauled the bike in. They charged around $270 for towing bike for 10 miles, 2.5 hours of labor, cleaned carbs, drained gas, a few other safety checks and test ride. Is $270 pricey? Yes but I see it as a lesson learned. Is it worth the peace of mind? Yes. Will I let it sit through all winter without any Stabil again? Absolutely no.
I think you can try charging the battery overnight like mrlmd suggested. If the bike is relatively new, I doubt you need a brand new battery.
Good luck!
