When the wife's TDM 850 starter relay packed in on a tour we used a Leatherman multi-tool's plier tips to bridge the heavy duty starter terminals. Started every time. The pliers were only doing what the inside of the relay (plunger) was failing to do. Gotta say though this diagnosis was only done because we were absolutely certain the solenoid had jammed.
