If your battery is stone cold dead, it's not going to kickstart. You need electrical power to the coil to create a spark. The only bikes that start with no electricity have magneto ignitions. They generate their own spark.

But you say the motor won't turn over even with the kickstarter?
First thing is to find out why that is happening. Pull the plugs and try kicking it.......
Plugs still out, try pushing it while in 2nd gear.......
The thing gotta turn before it gonna run.
