Bike will only start when I clutch in, cuts out when clutch released, is there a cut out switch on the clutch lever Any thoughts, first noticed this going to Jerez,

Yeah. There's a switch in there. Mine was the other way round.....wouldn't start until it got a few bashes. Just short out the wires......but it'll mean that it will still turn over if you've left it in gear

There's 3 lockouts altogether. One on the clutch lever, one on the prop stand and one for neutral. Does it start in neutral with the clutch lever out and the prop stand folded up?
Usual remedy is to open the switch on th clutch lever carefully, clean it inside and WD 40 it. On the prop stand switch clean off all the accumulated crap and clean it until the pin moves freelu. Little you can do about the neutral switch

It will start in neutral with the clutch in and the stand down, let out the clutch and it cuts out Will try it with the stand up as suggested and will take it from there

i had a similar problem on mine a short while back just at the time my horn stopped working. after doing all the cleaning etc etc went to try another switch gear and found the block connector under the tank was coming apart could you have a similar problem? also there are two wires on the little cut out switch under the clutch lever have they been moved ? .
