Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. A new rectifier for my bike is only £10 so that's no problem. I'll check out the stator and see what happens.

Thanks very much for taking a look at this however I think the test I filmed might have been flawed. It occured to me that the vibration of the bike might be causing the multimeter leads which I'd propped under the battery terminals to move and the voltage to drop and fluctuate. I repeated the test this morning but this time screwed the multimeter poles under the battery contacts. The initial reading was 12.89 volts but this time when I started the bike and revved it the voltage didn't drop dramatically, it remained constant between 12+ and 13+ volts.
So looks like we could be back to square one. I've fitted a new spark plug since the last time it didn't want to start, but until there is another wet night (won't have to wait too long for that in Scotland !),I won't know if that's made any difference.
On a positive note I've now learned about rectifiers so will be able to identify any future problems with that hopefully.

Try the plastic bag routine.

Will do. I was thinking of buying a tarpaulin sheet at the Pound Shop and fashioning a proper cover that would fit over the control switches/handlebar.

Must be fixed?
