Don't suppose you have a multimeter do you?
A battery takes a massive hamering to start the bike - while it may be retaining enough juice from the last time you ran it to get it to start once (or twice in your case), but it knackers a cell, and then you don't start again...
Brace - that'll teach me to read more carefully, hadn't seen the bit about turning over :rolleyes :rolleyes
Battery charger - am thinking about the hein gerick one
4 ngk CR8E spark plugs
Multi meter -but what tests to do and what reading should I see

A fully charged battery should show 12.8 volts,any less and it means either a knackered battery or not fully charged,if the battery is tired the starter may take all the juice leaving nothing spare for the ignition system
