So bikes not been starting for a week and thaught it was the battery, the battery turned out to be fine.

But still no start

So I tested the starter Solenoid by bypassing it

But still no starting so I'm guns say only thing left it could be is starter motor.

Rolling it back 12 foot then hitting the ignition again to see if it clunks or turns partly as suggested by azman

Checking the load on the battery when I hit the starter

I'm going to take the starter motor off in the morning and test it.

Has anyone got any other ideas of what to test whilst I'm at it if the motor works fine?
