Update :)
The Auto Electrician has been and the problem with the starter turned out to be a dodgy connector under the clocks at the front but strangely the bike then never fired when we tried starting it like it never fired when I shorted the selenoid the other day and that turned out again to be a dodgy connector under the seat the same one I spotted and tried to clean up but he squashed the terminals a bit for better connection. Cant believe there was an ignition fault waiting for me too which fortunetly shown itself while the AE was here rather than letting me down when out.
I had an intermittant back light on this when I bought it till I replaced the cheap plastic bulb holder with a metal one and put petroleum jelly on the connector and had no problems since so I am going to pack all the connectors tomorrow with petroleum jelly and hope for the best. I am convinced and have been since buying it four year ago this bike is more low quality Italian than Japanese, I still really like it though
I got a spare selenoid now
