Ducatiman will tell you that Starter Fluid is bad for the Ninja's slides, so be sure to lift them out of the way before spraying if you use it.
All you are looking for is some sign of life. That tells you that your problems come from inadequate or improper fuel metering.
Be sure to charge the battery, and check it with a volt meter to make sure it's holding proper voltage. You should see over 12.7V before cranking and over 10V while cranking. If you don't have that you'll never get it to run properly.

All great points Jay, thanks for the info on the starter fluid. I did not know that its harmful. Gasoline in spray bottle is a great idea.
