Please don't feel insulted if my questions seem mundane, but diagnostics over the internet are difficult at best, and by not asking critical questions, very simple solutions are overlooked and I look like a dumbazz. I try to avoid that.

1. Is the side stand up when you are attempting to engage clutch?

2. If so, check the plunger on the side stand switch. Make sure it isn't froze up or bound up from road grime / chain lube. WD40 works well to clean and lubricate the switch plunger.

3. If you still have no joy, find the wires leading to the side stand safety switch, and identify their colors. Should find two Green/White and Black/Yellow wires. These wires should be running down the frame tube. If they will unplug [bullet connectors] at the switch, pull them there, otherwise, follow the wires up the tube and cut them and connect the Green/White wire to the Black/Yellow wire to make a complete circuit. See what your bike does then.

Safety switches are on the bike for a reason. If this solves your problem, you might want to do what is necessary to make the safety switch functional again to prevent an accident take off with the side stand down. I have some nagging sense of responsibility to point that out.

Please let us know what develops, and good to see you here!
