Hi!
My bike is not starting properly. I took a video for anyone to look at. Basically when I try to start the engine it doesn't start but instead I hear a clicking noise. If I wait 10 minutes or so it usually starts. I traced the clicking noise to a black box under my pillion seat but I am not sure if this is the problem or the symptom of another problem. I went to my garage and showed them the video and they said it was the starter solenoid but after I put in a new one it didn't make any difference. Has anyone else had this before? The battery is 3 months old. Also If I push start it does not start but afterwards it allows me to start using the ignition button.
The starter itself seems fine as does the rest of the bike.
Any ideas?

This is the relay. A quick google search tells me it is a fuel pump relay.
