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

It turned over good to start off but on reflection did drop off I suppose quite quickly after a few attemps - it still turns over but quite slow now
Going to get a charger and whilst that is doing its job will be fitting new sparkplugs
Any reason not to get the hein gerick one as for me in leicester I can get hold of that tomorrow - so long as they are in stock, not sure where to get the optimate 4 one that quick
I don't do rain or threat there of. dry rider only with no shame.
