Back in action, but was the Optimate to blame?

Gents

Thanks all for your help. Replaced the relays with a couple of new ones (for the price I didn't see the point in working out which was which) and the fuel pump whirred into life.

One worrying thing however - my *pristine* bike does not have *any* corrosion *anywhere* on it, but after leaving it connected to an Optimate for almost a year, I noticed heavy "powdery" corrosion on:

The battery mounting bracket
Parts of the regulator
One of the bellypan Dzus fasteners
Many spade connectors (including the fuel pump relay, the fuel pump power supply and the sidestand)

I can't help but think this must be some electrically-induced problem.

Any comments?
