Recently bought a 2001 Aprilia RS 125, which recently had a top end rebuild and has been running fine with no problems, but today it just won't start!

At first she did try to turn the engine over but now it just makes a ticking noise every time I try to start her up.

Any help please? Thumbs Up Could it be the battery? or a starter problem ?

I've included a video if it helps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaYAO_s6HyM

haven't got any means to charge the battery but successfully bump started it today.

The LCD dash is reading between 11.6-12v battery but don't know how accurate that is? Thinking

Test the battery and if the test indicates bad then buy a new battery.
Pointless to buy a new battery when the one fitted is OK and the fault is in the ignition/starter circuits.
