Yup, that would be a perfectly reasonable test to try and learn something about the bike's issues. If a battery is on its way out, it very well might have enough juice to spin the starter motor, but not enough to hold the starter motor in place to engage the engine. It's more common on some other bikes than the ninjette, but it's certainly possible. Try with a known good battery first to see if the problem goes away. If not, then move on to the next step.
