Hi,
The starter grounds itself just by bolting it into the crankcase. Make sure it has a good positive connection from the solenoid. Make sure the solenoid has good connections to the battery and from the start button. Make sure the solenoid has a good ground.
Thank you for your indulgence,

Sounds like you replaced everything in the starter system. If your starter solenoid isn't even clicking I would check the starter / clutch interlock switch located on the underside of the clutch lever. Make sure you have continuity through that switch when the clutch lever is pulled in. This switch is connected to the little yellow with green (I think?) stripe wire on the solenoid. Be careful if the clutch switch lacks continuity and you decide to disassemble it to investigate. There is a tiny U-shaped copper "slider" in there that easily falls out and "disappears".

Hi,
It's easy enough to defeat the clutch safety switch. Just short the wires in the headlight bucket. Then be careful because you won't have to pull the clutch to start the engine.
Thank you for your indulgence,
