Check the position of the red cut out switch on the right hand handle bar

Time to check for bad connections to the starter motor. Use a multimeter and see if you are getting power whilst thumbing the starter button

All  fuses checked and are ok.all wires feel fine.
Just thinking could it be the immobiliser playing up but starts with bump through.

Cheers

So perhaps you have an intermittent problem? Now that's the worst kind.  :(

As always, it can be a broken wire or corroded connector, a careful visual check of the bundle in the plastic box under the tank and by the battery compartment may show the problem. Otherwise it could be the starter cut-out relay.

It's near the starter relay, lift the seat and take the left hand side panel off, it's the one with a connector with 11 wires.

Hope that solves it.
I would have poked around with a multimeter to check it's faulty before splashing out... but I am a skinflint. :lol

hi  I've tried everything so far. What about putting a switch
to the relay near the battery cos it starts by doing that
would it do any harm ?

Perhaps we can pin it down rather than bodging a solution.
If changing the cut-out relay hasn't cured things that just leaves the wiring and connectors as suspects doesn't it? I think you've changed everything else.
Might be worth checking the voltage at the black wire on the cut-out relay... with everything ready to go it should be at 12v, and drop to 0v while you thumb the starter button.

Cheers mate I'll give that a go at the weekend. If not it's going to be a shop bill
to get this sorted can't be bumping it for ever.

Another thing you might try: hold the starter button down whilst slowly turning the bars from one side to the other. If there's a broken wire that sometimes makes contact it's quite likely to be at the point where the cable bundle flexes.
