mike the bike:
Your battery's knackered then.

El__burro:
I've read that MF batteries are usually good (with regular use)
I have ridden my bike for less than 5 miles since replacing buying this battery.
I guess I need to test the charging system too.
Any advice on purchase?

do you have a charger/ optmiser ? and do you have it plugged in when your not using it ?

the worst thing you can do with batteries,is not use them,regular use,or maintenance charging helps alot

El__burro:
Yes, i do have a charger, the battery is left connected at all the times.
(Not regular use of the bike means that I start the engine at least twice a week).
when I push start I see smoke coming from one of the briefing holes on top of the battery.
Battery reads 12.70v.

 smoke from electrics is always bad news,are you saying your getting smoke from the switchgear,starter button area?
you should be to check the wiring,and also by shorting out the solenoid see how the  starter spins the engine,

more head scratching time !!!
