I NEED HEXES
I need a new kind of screwdriver to get the seat off the motorcycle. I feel that I have already purchased "too many" screwdrivers in my life, but what are ya gonna do.

Same thing that happened to yours. I bought mine from my dad after it had sat all winter. I jumped it, drove it home, and then the next day it wouldn't start.
Batteries for bikes like yours and mine are pretty reasonable, usually in the $30-$50 range. I was told most batteries cost around $40 and then I went to order one for my R1 and the guy said ah ahhahahhahahahhahahhaha $150.

No, that's fine. I will warn you though, I was told not to use a regular car charger for extended period of time on a motorcycle battery. It's okay for a quick jump or boost, but I don't think overnight is recommended.
The best test of your battery is the headlight. Turn your key on and look at the headlight. It should be super bright. If it's not on or pretty dim, your battery is low or dead. When you try and start it it's normal for your headlight to dim down but if the light goes off and the bike's not turning over, it's a battery issue. If it's turning over (whir whir whir) and not starting, the battery is fine.

Push starting can be fun!
Run as fast as you can with the bike in neutral. This is easier if you run down a hill.
Leap onto the bike and clutch, shift, gas, pop clutch. If you don't go over the handlebars then the bike will ghvb
