    Give the starter motor a few thumps of a hammer and try again.

    Enough juice in the battery? It's starting OK when you bump start it yea?

    yay it'll start like that!!
    hope i don't have to do that everytime tho,heavy old bike to be pushing.
    from reading the service manual and chatting to a cupla friends who know way more bout this stuff then me, it could be the starter relay,or the solenoid, so thats the next step.thanks
