It cranked fine and lead to optimate seems ok, ECU light was flashing which is supposed code for fuel injection issues, going to docs tomorrow, due a service anyway,will post an update
When the starter cranks, due to current draw, the voltage drops. If the battery is knackered (regardless of being tendered) the voltage can drop so low, that the MIL illuminates (because low voltage prevents all of the emissions control systems from functioning properly), if the injector solenoids cannot be energised properly (less than 9v) it definitely won't fire up. Your battery is probably shot.

Thanks for the reply, I suspect you might be right, I hadnt considered the battery, it has been on the Optimate for a couple of weeks which shows it as being charged and in the green, it does though appear to be the origanal battery which will be almost 5 years old and with the bike having done under 6000 miles its a good place to start.
