PROBLEM SOLVED!!

Sorry for the slow reply, but I got really busy there with work.

The problem appears to have been fixed and I owe a huge thanks to Bibio!
This has been a problem I've just lived with for a couple years now and all along it was a duff battery.
I'm actually shocked this has fixed it as I never expected a battery to cause problems as the petrol went down in the tank. This was the easiest fix ever and i could have sorted it ages ago LOL, oh well.

Thank you everyone for the help, you have one happy rider here that owes gratitude to the forum. I can finally enjoy the bike again!
