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.
