I'm not seeing a confirmation that you've checked the main earth strap to the engine, so I'm sitting pat on that diagnosis. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Checked and all fine. Dry connection and tight.
Quote: | Shorting between the two terminals on the solenoid with a metal object should turn the starter motor over regardless.
Does it? |
Yes, starter motor cranks the engine but doesn't fire up, also, starter relay is clicking like crazy when I do that.
Quote: | Assuming you've checked the battery voltage? |
Yes, Had the battery out and checked with voltmeter, indicates 12V. The battery is less than a year old and all the cells are fine, topped up.
Quote: | The sudden dying makes me think it's the clutch/stand switch causing the problem. |
Will check in the morning.
This problem is the most baffling I've every experienced with a bike. Pressing the start button just gets the relay clicking louldy, even though its a brand new part. The engine was running perfectly prior to it suddenly dying. I'll check all the junctions and wires leading to/from the starter relay and RR tomorrow. If anyone has any other thoughts just pile in and let me know thanks.

The ignition switches can partially fail on those bikes. I've had three go in such a way as it gives you all the dash lights and turns over the ignition but no spark. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

Four weeks off the road with this problem and it's driving me insane
Have replaced the starter relay with a new one AND replaced the regulator/rectifier thinking that was the problem. It isn't.
Have checked all the cables/connectors at the relay up to the main fuse box, all okay and I have also checked all the fuses, including the main fuse mounted on the relay.
Installed a known good junction box (thinking it may be the relay diode, it isn't). Totally fucked at the moment, absolutely no closer to resolving this problem, exactly the same issue - Press the start button, starter motor turns over for about 2 seconds and then the starter relay makes a loud clicking noise. Battery is okay, electrics tested with a voltmeter and for circuit continuity, everything is fine. New rectifier, new starter relay, all lights etc work perfectly. What the fuck ??????? ____________________ Honda CG125>Suzuki GT185>Honda CB 250N>Suzuki GSX400>Honda CX500B>Kawasaki GPZ305> Kawasaki GPZ550>Kawasaki GPZ500S+BMW 650GS |

Yes and yes
Battery also fully charged and checked, also did some further circuit tests this morning checking for short circuits between the battery, starter relay and starter motor. Everything is absolutely spot on, really good connections, strong signal from the circuit tester, bike is always dry stored etc. Methinks it will be going for spare parts soon... ____________________ Honda CG125>Suzuki GT185>Honda CB 250N>Suzuki GSX400>Honda CX500B>Kawasaki GPZ305> Kawasaki GPZ550>Kawasaki GPZ500S+BMW 650GS |

Side stand switch. I had drained the battery below its minimum for cranking too. Rewired the switch, charged the battery and double checked all the wiring - engine burst into life first press of the button ____________________ Honda CG125>Suzuki GT185>Honda CB 250N>Suzuki GSX400>Honda CX500B>Kawasaki GPZ305> Kawasaki GPZ550>Kawasaki GPZ500S+BMW 650GS |
