Get a wiring diagram, otherwise you're just guessing like the (well meaning) responders in this thread. With a diagram you should be able to trace something like this in 10-20 minutes.

Workshop manual is a good place to get one. If you absolutely can't find one, look for a 96-98 GSXR600 (carb'd) one, it won't be much difference.

Post it up here when you do (just screen shot it if it's in a full manual PDF), then we can basically tell you what setting to put your meter on and where to probe it.

Downloaded that and it was a one page blah blah from the site. I did not go any further.

SOLVED.

The wires going into the top of the main relay / starter relay through a 4-pin (I think it was 4) plug. The contacts on the female side for one pin were spread and not getting a good connection. Squeezed 'em back in a bit and she lives again! There was some evidence of a little arcing but no damage as such.

Thanks to everyone for the assistance and suggestions. I've learned a few things along the way... and I know for a FACT now that practically every electrical connection on my machine is clean and tight!
