Cheers,as you say to me anyway with very limited knowledge i am thinking the main fuse or thereabouts,did remove it and it was fine though just for the "you never know" thing i replaced it with the spare.The bikes old but well loved and has been to bits a few times and been put back together when mucking about though not so recently.Fuse box etc looks all good but will have another gander and maybe have a look at individual connectors etc.The fusible link thing i havent sorted yet ie wether it has any or not,will do.
