My voltage check was under zero load since I have zero response from the bike. But point taken. It could be the battery.
You *must* have some load on the battery to test it in any meaningful way (the multitester, itself, is almost zero load). Even a small load will do for a quick sanity check. Otherwise, you are just measuring "surface voltage." Just hook up a 12v incandescent lamp or something inline with your meter to test the voltage. If it drops much compared to no load, it is likely pretty dead. A true test requires a LOT of load (many dozens of amps over a significant amount of time, after being fully charged), but this simple test will tell you if it is enough to wake the bike up or not.
As others (and I) have said many times, the C14 is particularly picky about voltage (and good connections). A little too low and it will freak out, or do nothing at all.
