A quick update for you: I palmed the problem off on to my cousin who is into electronics, electric bikes etc and he discovered that it was a dodgy ignition switch.

Thank you all, It turned out to be the ignition switch not working properly. If I jiggle the key about and hold it in a certain position I can get it to power up so I'm thinking of fitting some sort of switch in place of the ignition barrel. I have measured the voltage but it fluctuates a lot...
