(again)
The last couple of times I've been out at the bike it's not fired up every time. It's running OK when it does start but on occasions I press the starter button and nothing.
Only because it's happened before and I've spent a bit of time looking into the problem, I'm slightly more familiar with what's going on. I'm pretty sure that it is the relay.
What I don't know is whether the starter relay was changed when it was in the stealership a couple of months or so back. As that repair was done under warranty I didn't get an invoice. If the starter relay had gone then it would be a bit more worrying as twice in such a short time may mean that there's something more underlying than just a faulty relay. It could well have been just the system relay that went as there was no sound of the fuel pump starting up at that time.
So what I'll do is order a starter relay but until I get that I'm going to be thinking twice about riding any distance as I haven't yet figured out a get you home repair.
