Bill did it make a ticking noise under your pillion seat? id try and take all the relays out and give them a little (very little) tap and plug back in and try. Ive had this problem before and had a faulty relay. Ive also fitted a 150amp solenoid and better battery as i was having alot of issues with starting. Since adding these extras ive no problem with starting at all. One other thing ....... check your side stand switch. I think this has caused issues for other forum members before. Let me know how you get on mate
 
Think you are right about relay, when i switch on i get a single click, i put meter inthe line between the relay and the fuel pump, see 12.5 v and then drops to zero straight away, put pwerto the fuel tank direct and it is working, so off to store tomorrow to tray to get a couple of new relays, andy thoughts about putting larger relay, higher amperage on the fuel line
