Bike crank but wouldn't start.
#20
Thanks for the test, especially the last value of 11.8 volts should be a bit higher.

To compare with my 3 year old battery;

1; float with ignition key off: 12.75v.
2; key on: 12.35v.
3; cranking: 10.20v.
4; float after start, key off: 12.45v.

Another clue is the neutral light, i found if it stays on DURING CRANK the battery is usually ok, can you have a look for me if your neutral light goes out when you crank? i would like to know.

If you don't have any jumper cables to assist in starting it may be time to invest in a new battery, not conclusive but in your case suspect.
It could explain the lack of spark which otherwise has no good reason to be defective, hope this helps.
