you haven't followed the guidelines for asking advice so I don't know which model you have or the history behind this issue, but I'd be circumventing the relay and direct testing the startermotor in the first place, if that works then checking the relay for corrossion, if not the earthing side of the circuit.

Cheers Mark.
I was experiencing this problem before and after the garage had it for 2 weeks they had told me they had cleaned out the starter motor and solenoids (?) and that if i experienced any more problems I would need a new starter motor, cost £400.

its a 1999 sv650s with about 35k on the clock. sorry to be a right dumbdumb but where is the relay?
