Hi guys buggered up another part of the bike now. :angry:

When I try to start the bike the Relay assembly makes a nasty electrical crackling sound (for want of better words) and there is no compression to be had from the engine.

Could anyone tell me what is likely to be the problem and how much it will be to rectify the problem.

Cheers

I sorted it out. Turns out that the battery had lost its charge and because of this the relay was switching on and off quickly. :rolleyes: Have you ever tried to bump start a high compression engine its next to impossible ended up jump starting it with my mates car.
