It would start when stone cold but if I stopped it straight away or it stalled that was it until the next day (I have tried to start it over several hours to no avail and just flattened the battery if I persisted hence leaving it until the next day) Ureka I do believe I have solved the problem but it’s very noisy on the front cylinder but that is a new chapter... I managed to start the bike over the weekend and instead of turning it off with the help of a little throttle I kept it running until it would tick over then left it running until it reached full operating temp and the fan kicked in and during this period it literally steamed from under the tank ( not blown gasket type steam more wisps of drying out) and now it starts on the button every time albeit noisily, so many thanks for all your help with my problem.
