Doesn't want to start on the kick Ted (slight cough) - still need to cure this major issue as a priority
Forgot to add, as Ken suggested it looks like the starter motor is failing in some way. I'd look at that firstly, the car battery would probably have enough grunt and size to melt something if there's failure, that's in comparison to the bike battery.
You could use the 750 as reference. Meter for continuity down the positive starter lead across to earth to give yourself reality check on numbers.

Why didn't I think of that! Just checked and I get same - ie, continuity - the live switching must 'shunt' the earth to the other side of the load (starter motor). This complicates it as why is the battery shorting itself out when I press starter button - solenoid engagement - bearing in mind that I've tried another solenoid? (its been on tandem charge - method to recover completely nacked battery - for 3 hours and still zero!)Do I risk another shorted battery if I use the 750's battery!
