    Starter relay wiring

    Hey Guys,

    NO.

    The posts with nuts get connected the battery + and the lug on the starter motor (pretty sure it doesn't matter which.)

    The screws in the corners connect to nothing, they are just screws holding the solenoid/relay together.

    The solenoid has no other ground point than the screws that connect its plate to the bike's plate/frame. This is a common place to mount all other ground lugs in the area to create a Single Point Ground, aka 'SPG"

    The sense wire, which you show connected to nothing, connects to the start button.

      Yep, look closer, the screw that you have connecting to the starter switch is just a reinforcing clip holding the orange wire, that connects to the starter switch, so it is less likely to get pulled off it's connection point.

          The ground might actually be the mounting ears, not the screw you show.

          As Rich and Rick mention, the connection to the starter button is the yellow/red wire that is hanging below the solenoid. On a GS, that is actually yellow/green, so that is not a GS solenoid. No worries, they all pretty much work the same.
