Diode?

[Arch stanton]

Hello.
When I stripped my current 750k1 project. The wiring was a home made rats nest. So I just cut everything out.
But now I am installing a new harness & when looking through my box of electrical components I find a Diode. This was fitted to the bike when I got it. But the parts book doesn't show the K1 having a Diode.
I believe this Diode is to allow the bike to start in gear with the clutch pulled in.
My question is. Can this Diode be fitted into a standard K1?
And if so. Where does it go?
I'm afraid that I'm a real Dimmock where electrics are concerned.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Sean.

My guess would be that at some point a previous owner has fitted a later loom, which has obviously worked, but could cause all kinds of head scratching when trying to sort the electrics.
