Nope, you need to confirm starter-solenoid is actually bad before replacing it. You'd be replacing a perfectly-working part with brand-new perfectly-working part and nothing will change. Your bike still wont' start because you haven't tested, measured and confirmed failed parts. Measure for +12v on yellow/red activation line going into solenoid when you push start-button.

1. IF there's power on that line AND relay doesn't click & power starter, THEN starter-relay is bad... however

2. IF there's NO power on starter-solenoid activation line, then you can't conclude that solenoid is bad. You've got switch-problem somewhere with series of switches starting from ignition-switch.

DID YOU MEASURE the kickstand switch and neutral switches? What resistance values did you get? Do the following tests and get numbers.

1. resistance between kickstand-switch connector terminals with kickstand UP and DOWN. What's the numbers?

2. resistance between neutral-switch and chassis-ground with bike in gear and in NEUTRAL. What's the resistance numbers?

3. resistance between clutch-switch connector terminals with clutch-lever OUT and SQUEEZED-IN. What's the numbers?
