Well, on page 18-2 of the service manual is a starter system wiring diagram.
The starter relay coil will have 12v on one side if the ignition switch is on, the stop (or kill) switch is closed, and the starter switch is pushed. This assumes the fuses are good.
The other side of the coil gets ground from either the sidestand switch being closed (stand up) and clutch switch closed (clutch being pulled) or from the neutral switch being in the neutral poisition.
There is nothing in the schematic that has anything to do with the engine running.
I wouldn't push the start switch with the engine running just to see. Motocycle parts are not cheap.
