Note to self, start with the simple stuff....
dragged the battery i replaced back in Feb this year out from under my workbench and stuck on a charger and then an optimate for 2 days to try and recover it. Got in from work tonight and showing green on the optimate so just connected it to the bike and it fired straight up.....so just a duff battery after all that!
now i gotta put it all back together again:D
thanks all for the input and listening to my panic stricken ramblings the beast goes on again.... while its slightly stripped i will probably give it a service with some new plugs as i havent replaced them in the last two years and they are looking a bit crusty in there now i can see them!
Always remember that a faulty battery can still show full voltage but have no amperage , I've known a 12v bike battery show 12.7 volt and not even be able to illuminate a 5w side lamp bulb.
