This is kinda linked in with my white smoke thread,

my battery is knackered, i am aware of this, however when i connect it up to the jump leads, the neutral light wont go on and the electric starter wont work.

Its not a blown fuse as far as i can tell, is it just because of the dead battery or do i have yet more complicated problems with my once flawless bike?

Everything should work ok when you hook up the other battery - do you have lights?

Dunno about Hondas, but Suzukis have a main 30A fuse, usually located on or near the starter solenoid. If that's gone then it'll be totally dead however good the battery is.

Speaking of electrics, i was on a motorway slip road and as i went to change gear i got a short sharp shock in my left hand from the bike.

As all the electric stuff is on the other side-any ideas????

If nothing works most likely your earth cable is corroded where it links onto the bike.
That is the negative lead, which runs directly to the bike frame.
