Default 99 Foreman 450 ES, no spark, won't shift

Hi, I have a 99 Honda Foreman 450 ES. The battery was dead last weekend so I pull started it. I let it idle for a minute and then started to rev the engine fast to try to get it to warm up (20 degrees outside) and it revved and stalled out. Tried to pull start it again and nothing. Began working on it this weekend and tried to check the spark with both a spark tester and by putting the spark plug on the cylinder (new plug, new fully charged battery), no spark. I then tried to shift the unit out of N and the shifter doesn't work either. Any ideas?

is the battery good
is the regulator putting out a charge - most likely regulator ( has anyone else got one near you, to change over and try)
but check battery first
