it tried to turn over briefly, but i really dont want to kill it completely.
i thought about immobiliser/alarm - the dealer said no to both before i bought it, coz i wanted to know for insurance i plan to call him tomorrow to get confirmation from prev' owner i am stumped |

If it's trying to turn over it doesn't sound like immobiliser or alarm. Try jumping it or putting the battery on charge. If it's been stood at the dealers for a while it may need a good charge. Did you have a long run on it yesterday?

started ok at the dealers, took it to the nearest petrol station for fuel - mean sods never put fuel in it for me.
it took a couple of attempts when i got back on it at the petrol station, but did about 40 miles after that to get it home without any problem. tried it this morning & it wasnt having it. it does try, but sounds more now than it did last night like the battery is going flat. should i expect the dealer to replace the battery if i find that it has had it? |

Could try the dealer for a new battery or at least a contribution if it's duff, but I wouldn't bet on a polite reply.
Have you turned the lights off before trying to start? And the earlier bikes can have a problem with the choke not working properly which would hinder the start process.

Before you go to the dealer, get the battery on an optimate(or similar) and give it a good charge. Thats exactly what the dealer will tell you!
