99 GL1500 Starter Issue

[zeoran]

Recently on my 99 Apsencade, I'll go to start the bike cold. I push the button and nothing happens. After I release the button, I'll hear a click but the starter does nothing. I'll turn off the bike, try again. Keep trying a few times and after a minute or so, eventually the bike will start normally and runs fine for weeks/months. Then out of nowhere, it will do it again. I go to start it and nothing.

Is this possibly one of those relays I keep hearing so much about that's not completely dead but dying? If so, which one? The intermittent nature of the problem makes it hard to diagnose.

God bless,

Keep a test light on the bike so when it acks up you can check it while it's not starting.

What kind of test light?
