Thanks Jules, you were right, the solenoid was clicking but not making the connection to send the supply to the starter motor. Speaking to a local mechanic, he thinks the starter motor probably burn't out due to the relay fault. If I could find out how to post a picture I would include the contacts inside the relay, one side was brass coloured the other showing signs of heat damage. I went out on the MT after fitting the new one, I love this bike, I don't think i'll ever get another (unless it's an MT01), mine has a full akrapovic system which really adds to the ride. What a beast!!
