Bridge the posts on the solenoid, if the bike starts then you know the starter works. Looking at the wiring diagram you should get +12v on the yellow/red wire when you press the starter button. Also you should have connectivity to ground on the Green/Red wire provided you have the bike in neutral.

I don't know if the gasket is rubber or not but if it is rubber do yourself a favor and get some permatex #2 or #3 NON-HARDENING sealant for that valve cover gasket.
