A diode only lets current flow in one direction.
The diode on this bike is for the clutch safety switch function.
The diode it it has one is about 1/2 inch square black cube with two prongs.

The selenium rectifier you are holding is the original and makes 1/2 wave AC into 12v DC.
You got to have it.
