You will probably find the switch is a push to make switch, so when its pushed in a connection is made and tells the ECU/CDI not to allow the bike to start/pull away. Disconnecting the whole lot it will probably start anyway.

If you chose to remove the side stand switch you need to join the wires that the switch unplugs from.

Thats what i thought, that i would have to join the two wires together to complete the circuit. Unplugged the switch and it starts fine. Seems to me the problem must be elsewhere. Bloody electrics....arrrggghhh

Oh, rode it for about 30 odd miles last night and it was fine, well until i discovered a game called 'switching fuel onto reserve while driving down a very dark main road...' now that was interesting...!!!
