Hey Fred,It sounds like you need to place the battery on charge.After charge (12.5v @ battery)make sure the connection are on properly and tight.If still does not turn over you will have to give me a little more info (ie:does the starter relay just clicks or there is no clicking).

Answer
Hi Fred,If the plugs are dark I would replace them with new ones.Before installing them make sure they have a strong spark to them.If the bike fires up my next step would be to check the charging system,then take it on a 10-20km ride to get a better visual on the plugs to see how they are burning.
