This is what I did

But I have NO continuity 

 

I did right somebody can tell me 

 

 

When the relay is deenergized there is no continuity between those terminals. Those are the main terminals for the starter motor. When the start button is pressed, the relay energises and you should see continuity between those contacts at that time

Or just put 12v to the connections and it should click as well as registering on the meter.

The Starter Relay was bad I replaced it and she is running fine   :)

Just for help those who may have the same problem in the future here are a fast review was I did to isolated and solved the problem.

 

Symptom: Starter operating randomly and some times keeps engage after the starter bottom was released

 

Procedure: 

1. Check out that the Starter, Side stand and Clutch switch are working properly

2. Take the Starter Relay (SR) out of the bike

3. Take out the SR coupler to the main wire loom (the square section that hold the fuses, use a flat screwdriver kind of tool)

4. Using an external 12v source energize the SR trough the spade connections and you should hear a loud click, be careful and energized the SR just long enough to test it (a few second should be enough) 

5. Using a multimeter in continuity mode place the proves on the main poles of the SR nothing should happens

6. Energize the SR and you should have continuity after the clicks, if not the SR is bad and need to be replace

 

Here is a picture of the connections I am talking about
