R1 Start Circuit Cutoff Relay - removal?

As per the title.

Has anybody removed the relay from the loom and bypassed it completely. I left the car laid up for a few months while I sorted out a house move and now the relay just buzzes at me.
Tried two different, charged, batteries with no change. When you turn on the electrics the fuel pump relay side of it just clicks at me and if you try and start you just get buzzing.

This will be the second one that has goosed itself (the other one was a couple of years ago).

Cheers

Yep can easily be removed. Can't remember off the top of my head, but a gander at wiring diagram should see you right

Is it as simple as getting a couple of Maplins relays and wiring them in or did you just hard wire the fuel pump?

The bit that confuses me slightly is all the diodes in there but I guess most of it is for the cut out sensors which are all redundant.

I put the fuel pump through a relay, other than that it was just removing the no start circuits like clutch, side stand and neutral.
Mine also had the cyclelock which I removed from the equation too.
Once you remove the starter relay it's just a matter of supplying power and earths realy.

Missed your reply, cheers for that.

Got it running in the end. Think I actually have a couple of goosed batteries in the garage. Take them off the charger at 12.7V ish and if you put a meter on the terminals you can actually see the voltage dropping off to about 11.5V with nothing connected.

Went out and bought an Odyssey PC545 and it fired up first time. All good for now but I'll maybe look at removing the cutoff relay as a winter project.
