Hi and welcome. 
After a prolonged lay-up and exposure to damp there could be many causes for the problem.
As always with the Fazer, start by ensuring you have a good battery. Assume nothing, check it with a voltmeter. You should have 12.8v across the battery terminals. A weak or failing battery can cause the sort of intermittent electrical failures you describe.
Also suspect is the ignition switch. Clean it thoroughly by squirting electrical contact cleaner through it to flush out any crap. You should do the same with both handlebar switchgear units.
After that, work systematically through all the connector blocks from the fairing and clocks back to the fuses/battery area. Again, electrical cleaner, close inspection for corrosion or damaged pins, apply dialectric grease and refit.
It's likely to be something related to battery voltage or a poor contact. Work methodically and you should find it soon enough. Time spent cleaning and greasing the connectors will pay dividends in the future.
