    That sort of thing is usually located in a relay/junction box or TCI unit. Consult the wiring diagram / manual / exploded parts view.

    From what I recall (I might be wrong), I think the clutch diode is located in the main loom that runs down the right side of the frame. It is tucked in just below the tank. You probably need to remove the tank to get at it. It just looks like a little connector block plugged into the loom.

    I have seen new cases and dial plates as well.
    I purchased some aftermarket needles a little while ago, but have not had time to fit to my bike yet.
    You will just have to hunt around.
