Default starter relay

I bought an 82' suzuki gs550 and I couldnt get it to start. I could get it to turn over if I jumped the starter relay. I just figured out that the start button wire was cut in the wiring harness. so when I reconnected it and hit the start button, the starter relay just clicks. does that mean that the relay is bad?
