Starter Control Relay - where is it?

The wiring diagram I am using is from Suzuki's service manual for the SV650. According to the diagram, There are three connections to the Starter Control Relay- A yellow/black wire that goes to both the diode and the start relay, a yellow/green that is connected back to the Clutch lever position switch (which provides voltage to activate the Starter Control Relay, and a Black/White that connects into the grounding circuit. I've tried folling the Yellow/Green to the relay from the Clutch switch, and the Yellow/Black back from the Starter Relay to the Starter Control Relay and in both cases the wires just disappear into the wiring loom and I can't tell where they go to find the Starter Control Relay. Mind you, that relay may not be the problem, but after a somewhat unorganized attempt to get the starter working, I decided to trace step by step the circuit that activates the Starter Relay. The Starter Control relay is the next step and has me stuck for now.

for the sake of getting the bike to run, omit the relay entirely, the earth does nothing, the clutch switch give the live and the output to the diode is what energises the main relay.
Route the wire from the clutch switch direct to the starter relay.

Everyone,

Thanks for the replies. I tried jumpering around starter relay connector to get power to the bike and then jumpering power directly to the starter relay and it fired right up. So, after a some more tracing the wiring trying to find the problem I just hooked everything back up and hit the button and it started.

Seems like in all my taking things apart/putting back together I must have connected something that was loose. Hopefully it is that and not an intermittent short or a wire broken inside the insulation. Either way, the starter switch definitely was also bad and had to be fixed.

I've been riding my wife's scooter to work while the SV was down, and while that was fun in its own way, it's nice to be back on the SV.

I have the same question.
