Default fuel pump issue

Lately when I put switch into Run position, the fuel pump doesn't come on. I can hear relay clicking but no pump. Repeatedly cycling switch, pump will eventually come on and bike starts.
Runs fine, then cuts out (today on the highway while doing 70) and bike quits. Again, try to start, pump not coming on. Eventually came on and got it home.
Any one experience this? Any ideas to what may be causing it?

The relay would be my first suspect. Reseating it may fix it.

Thanks for the tip, switched out system relay and problem went away.
