When you hear the fuel pump turn on, do you also hear it turn off? If not, if it runs continuously, it is one of the two relays under the seat.

Hi

I have just finished racing season with my Duc which I enjoy very  
much. At the last session I started to having a problem with starting  
the bike with the right hand push button. I ended up getting some  
friends to push start me.

This happened just one time before a couple  of months ago, and when I 
mentioned it in servicing there was no problem of  it starting at that 
time. I noticed after 2 practice sessions at the track,  then the bike 
started as per normal the rest of the day. But as soon as I  tried it 
at home it wouldn't start again. I have read your FAQ's and I  
understand the side stand could be a problem but this was 
disconnected  over a year ago by the person I bought it from. The fuel 
pump does kick in  as soon as the ignition is turned on, but there is 
nothing when you press  the switch. Could the Switch be the problem 
and if it is, how do I know that  it is bad? I also hear a click when 
the ignition is turned on which I  understand as being the relay. Any 
info would be  appreciated.
