Not scared me off.....Im 6 foot tall and 18 stone, takes a fook load to scare me usually its the other way round !!
Okay so it could be the sidestand switch , but I would check the solenoid first (just in case as the symptoms are similar but maybe not the same issue).
If you have a pretty meaty screwdriver, bridge across the 2 big bolts on the solenoid and see what happens (there will be sparks)

And you forgot to mention from Essex
Mate - managed to get into the garage again tonight and have finally resolved my issue. From what I can tell, I had a combination of corrosion on the starter motor connection point and the washer/nut holding the cable on, AND the cable end appears to have been earthing itself on the actual starter motor. Swapped out the washer/nut, used an another washer to act as a spacer and bent the cable connection a little. Finally sorted. Thanks for all your suggestions though - still love the idea that I can discuss issues with someone on the other side of the planet
Good luck Mr Chow..
ssssssssssssssh , I'm not a single mum on benefits - honest

Good luck Mr Chow..
LOL! Something to aspire to then!
Kiwi - another quick question... When you turn on your ignition, where does your tacho needle sweep to? I'm sure mine used to sweep to the 9 o'clock position (6000rpm), but it is only going to 5500rpm now... Or maybe I'm mistaken after all.
On another note - are you a south sea Pom originally ?
6000 , however the needles are only pressed on and have been known to slip !
Never a POM mate ...thats the big country next door with all them biting and stinging things (and that's just the sheila's in Sydney)

You mean the 'West Island'
I'm a Brit originally, but moved to Oz when I was 7. Been here 33 years, but no one let's me forget - still got an accent. But after the success of the Games, happy to be a 'whingeing Pom'
Thanks for your help again
Yup the "West Island".. full of bad sportsmen too.
Ive been in the UK since 87, accent isnt quite as strong as it used to be...can almost say bread now without it sounding like brid !
Yeah your fellow native and not so native countrymen and women did bloody good, bloody good indeed.
