Well, I got attacked by the side-stand switch gremlin on Saturday. All set for a spin out - side stand up, engine running, clutch in, snick into gear - engine dies. Try again - same thing. Ho hum, wheel the bike back in and out with the tools.........
This would appear to be a case of "physician, heal thyself" - I must have pontificated enough times on the electrical doings of the starter circuits on TA and ATs.
So, this is going to be a "How To" on sorting out the side-stand switch.
First off, off with the Left Hand Side Panel -

The big block, with all the wires going into it, is the CDI and above and to the left if the fuse box. It makes life a bit easier if the fuse box is released from the bracket holding the CDI -

It is only clipped onto the bracket. To slide it off you will need to gently depress the tang that is situated between the two rails moulded into the side of the fuse box - position indicated by the arrow.
You will also need to release two cable clamps -

The clamp indicated by the Red arrow holds three cables onto the bottom of the bracket. The clamp shown by the Blue arrow is taped to the wires to the side-stand switch and clips onto a "pip" on the frame down tube.
Now by moving the CDI and bracket to the left we can finally get at the connector that carries the side stand switch wiring - it is the Green connector indicated by the arrow.

If you want a quick and dirty solution you now disconnect the side stand switch connector and replace it with a connector made up with a shorting link. This will get you going BUT you will have to ensure that the side stand is UP before you set off. On your own head be it.
I did make up a shorting link to confirm that it was the side-stand switch that was the cause of the problem.
