Hello again, I also appear to have a dead starter (possibly maybe) I will get round to thanking people regards the lighting issue I thought I had but am not sure how to reply ! (old git lol) When I bought the bike it had been a "wallflower" on display for the last ten years in a local B&B where I live. Obviously the bike is exceptionally clean and has a genuine 1,800 kl on it but needed recommissioning . I bought a new battery from Hitchcock's which arrived dry and after quite a faff managed to purchase the correct electrolyte/acid and have had it on trickle charge for the last 48 hrs. The bike now starts after a few prods of the kick start and runs well but the start button seems dead, I have naturally clicked the red power switch on the right side of the handle bars. Perhaps the battery needs more charging to operate or engage the starter but I am not even getting a click. I am fairly ok at mechanical stuff but crap at electrics, any suggestions welcome, Kally
