Bike Wont Turn Over - Spark plugs?

Bike Wont Turn Over - Spark plugs?
I took off my fairings about 2-3 weeks ago and replaced some parts, I have finally gotten it all together minus the fairings. Unfortunately during the time the bike was disassembled, the battery died. I threw it on the trickle charger and put it back in the bike. When I went to start it, it had a strong charge (lights turned on, blinkers and horn worked). When I pressed the ignition button it would just whine but wouldn't turn over.
I have been reading what other people have wrote about their bikes not starting and have come to the conclusion it may have something to do with the spark plugs. It really shouldn't, because I just had the bike serviced about a month ago and they replaced the plugs. Anywho, I am wondering how do I access the spark plugs to inspect them? Or if anyone has any other ideas why I can't get it to start that would be great.
I haven't rode in over a month and I'm very frustrated. I'm going through riding withdrawals, and with such nice weather it's killing me even more. Please help! Thanks

you say the starter wont kick on? like it "tries" to start but just wont? or it doesnt even try. if it tries to start then i would try and swap the gas, i had a bike sitting for 3 weeks and it wouldnt start, turned out to be bad gas. drained the tank (which happened to be full...fml) put some fresh gas in and started up after a couple attempts. Hope this helps, the weather is getting perfect outside.
