No. Nothing on dash at all. I'm gonna check the starter solenoid tomoz to eliminate that. I've had so many charging problems with my bike but the dash has never died. I will also check all earths tomorrow too,

The dash is supplied via the solenoid, the battery positive is wired straight through it. You should be able to get a reading of around 12v from the battery ground terminal or frame to the correct connectors on the solenoid, you need to cross-reference the wire colours with the wiring diagram. If none of the connectors on the solenoid are giving you a voltage but the battery is giving a voltage reading, the solenoid is probably dead.
Let us know what you find.

Success! It was a dead battery in the end. Got it on charge, took it to my local bike garage. We did all the voltage tests, and alt and reg/rec are both ok, but the battery was low, so i've got a new, slightly bigger one. Lets hope it's done the trick.
Thanks for the help and advice everyone. One less worry off my mind.
