    Does anyone have a pic of the starter relay (solinoid) installed in their 1982 xj650r? Like a fool I removed mine to replace and didn't take a "before" pic. Now not sure what wire goes where. Rookie mistake. I've done a search and scanned the first few pages so apologies in advance if I've missed a similar post.

    Thank you so much! I bought this bike as a barn find and I don't think the PO ever had the battery/relay hooked up correctly. This is a great help!
