Les harris 1959

I have a 1987 FZR 1000 Genesis. It has been stored in a garage for 10 years. I have put a new starter relay and battery on her - she fired up and sounded like a beastie...but I put the relay into its position and since then she won't start on the switch - she only gets going when I bridge the terminals on the relay with a spanner. I think the cut out switches are OK and the battery is fully charged. The bike is driving me nuts and I am on the verge of divorce! Anybody got any ideas? Les

Cheers, This may sound like im stupid but do you mean by "bridging" as wiring 1 part out to see if its that part thats causing the problem? I really am stumped and been at it for weeks! Im only use to re-storing british bikes such as truimph bonnerville and BSA lightning! Part from a salvage XS 1100 i chopped and hard tailed but that was all frame and engine! Many thanks
