I diagnosed it myself (wrongly) the starter relay/selonoid, I bought and fitted one and the bike was OK for 3 months then back to random turning over and then packed up altogether so instead of buying another relay for £40 I did the sensible thing and got my mate an excellent auto electrician to check it out and straight away he diagnosed a block connector behind the headlight that had that green corrosion on it so he cleaned that and the bike has been perfect ever since and now I have the original relay has a spare.

After having various niggling electrical faults on this not so Japanese bike I took all the connectors apart quite a few had green corrosion on them so cleaned them all then filled them full of petroleum jelly and not had a single electrical fault since and Ive got much more confidence in the electrics.
I'm currently trying to find the cause of the problem.
Did you try pressing the "ENGINE STOP" switch while the starter relay was "stuck" ? Based on the starting circuit diagram (https://www.manualslib.com/manual/10...Xt-600-Ac.html , page 301), I believe that when the "ENGINE STOP" (3) switch is off, no current can go to the Starting circuit cut-off relay (5) and consequently the starter relay is forced to open. In my case, when the relay got stuck I pressed the "ENGINE STOP" switch and the starter motor kept turning, leading me to believe that, in my case, the problem is related to the starter relay.

What do you guys think ?
Thanks in advance.

If the starter keeps turning with the relay unplugged, then the relay contacts have arced/welded together. Renew the relay. An old or not fully charged battery can cause this. Get a genuine Yamaha relay. The cheap ones don't last.
