| Thanks for all the info guys, it helps to restore my faith in bikers!
Well tonight i took all the plastic off and put the battery on charge. I spotted thet the connector on the right hand side of the bike by the coolant header tank has suffered a small fire! I recall reading that this can happen but cant remember what casues it. It might have been casued by a failed regulator or have taken out the regulator as a result. Guess i wont know till i've repaired it and got the battery charged. I really cant afford a new reg at the moment but i cant be without the bike now that the summer is here!
Fingers crossed and thanks once again for all the support and info.
