Apart from the rear ones are horrible bastards to undo.
Yep I bought a new solenoid. No spark when shorting the contacts on it. Battery is over 12.5v so assume it's still good.
Will have a look at the starter motor.
Put delkevic on mine Bit of a fiddle fitting them in one piece pre-assembled so took it apart and did it in sections. Piece of cake. Come with link pipes between the downpipes so identical to the OEM ones.
Ahh i see, this is what happens when you don't read up properly (my bad). The starter is completely clean now though so I might put it back in and just see if it works.
It was the tap on the starter motor that fixed it. Need to get those brushes cleaned or changed because it's going to happen again before too long
When you say you cleaned the contacts, did you open up the solenoid and clean it internally. Common for the internal contacts to have green corrosion which intermittently stops the solenoid doing its job. Next time it happens short the big connections in the solenoid. If that turns the starter, change the solenoid. I don't know of anyone who had to strip a starter on the 600 to replace brushes. Heard of a few who had to because the starter was seized
No matter what the problem is, treat your bike to a new battery, i think it deserves it.
Oh, the irony, my surname is actually Silvester
