check the earth wire running from the battery to under the seat sometimes it can come loose over time and this can stop the bike starting I would advise removing from the frame cleaning it with wire brush and WD40 and tightening back up again

well finaly i have it sorted :D

for any1 thats actualy interrested it turned out to be a fuel starvation problem , the pipe from the fuel tap ( not the actual fuel line but the pipe that creates the vacume ) had split so the bike wasnt getting any fuel hence it sometimes running and not others.

but atleast its all sorted now
