First off check all your cables are connected tightly and in good condition, as the demands of the started are higher than anything else and can show up any bad cabling.

Behind the offside (right if sitting on the bike) side panel you'll see a green cover, in the middle is a square plug, using the clip take it out and check the pins and corresponding sockets as these can suffer water damage, give them a bit of a clean and it should sort it out.

the other thing it could be is the relay itself which is sealed in the black plastic beneath the plug socket, although I've opened it, it's not really a user serviceable part and will need replacing.

Cheers Mark.
