Thanks, Grant - I'll definitely start with the battery and fuse and see how i go.
The fuel thing is weird - i've had some bikes that seem more prone to it going stale than others. i can leave my 1997 bmw r1100rt for weeks no problem, but a similar era fireblade i had (1998) would have stale fuel after 2/3 weeks - my mechanic didn't believe it when i told him but it's easy to tell fuel's gone off by its smell...and by the fact that when you change it for fresh stuff it fire up immediately. Both those bikes were running 95 (5% ethanol)
