In the garage deciding what to do first!
Do dry cell batteries just .................die!
I haven't started my bike (500) for a while.....and the battery was flat.
I charged it up over night and it still wasn't enough to turn it over.
Eventually,  I had to jump the battery from my T5 transporter and it turned the engine over slowly but...very lazily.
Battery now just shows 10 volts!
Am I flogging a dead horse...............
 
The transporter battery must be dead as well!

Perhaps a starter or relay issue?  Or just bad jumper leads...

Andy I expect the motor only turned over slowly when you tried 'jumping ' was because of voltage loss of around  a volt from
using jump leads (longer the leads and core size will determine exactly how much) and a duff battery on the bike.
Time for a new battery.
I've used Motobatt batteries for a number of years with good results.
