[QUOTE="Intech, post: 1416626, member: 18497"] First off, the side stand switch will kill the engine if it is down and the transmission in any gear. You can only start the engine with side stand down in neutral. Second, I really find it hard to believe that starter relays are going bad. If the environment was causing it I would have to believe that you would be having problems with other components. You can, usually, easily bump start if there is just under the required voltage to turn the starter. A completely flat battery, no. I really suspect that you have a battery issue. Have you done voltage checks on the battery when it wouldn't turn the starter? Have you ever measured the current draw of your starter? If it is high (>90 amps) a good battery will work a few times and eventually fail to maintain sufficient power to turn over the bad starter. This is a problem I dealt with on a friend's '04. Your symptoms seem strikingly similar. [/QUOTE]
