Lexmoto Adrenaline 125 - Not Starting

So my lexmoto adrenaline isnt starting up.

Turn on ignition, Hold in Clutch/Neutral, Side stand up but when i press the starter button nothing happens. ( dont get the clicking noise ).

My lights work but theyre dimmed.

Managed to bump start it and ridden it for about an hour to see if battery would charge but when i turned it off wouldnt start up again.

The battery has a test button and its showing 1/3 bars.

Anyone got any ideas what could be causing it not to start.

Do you have a multimeter?

My first check is always to check what voltage the bike is running with it off and on, though if you've managed to ride for an hour, that implies that you battery is actually charging.

You could attempt to bridge the starter solenoid with a screwdriver, after you turn the power on, to see whether or not that does anything.

Just another thing,

I bump start it with the choke on, once ive bump started it let it sit for 10 mins to warm up. When i go to turn the choke off the revs just keep dropping untill it dies again .

My idle screw is fine, seems weird

If your luck is is your battery is potato, if it is bad your charging system is potato.
