        @dan28 l have tried that Dan, it doesn’t work.
        Strangely it works a little bit, but as you go up the revs in cuts out.
        It plays with you a little bit, then leaves you to do the walk of shame back to your house whilst it laughs behind your back.
        Maybe I’ve dramatised that a little.....ha-ha! 😂😡

            @dan28 If you see the picture on the first post, all l have is the female end of where the kill switch plugs in.
            I have never had a kill switch on the bike so l have nothing to figure it out from.
            As said l jumped the two pins inside the connector, in theory completing the circuit.
            Unfortunately this hasn’t solved the problem.
            As said, any advice is greatly received! 👍

                  I m no expert but I reckon the plug is the problem chop it of an join both wires
                  The connectors inside the plug could be corroded as you said it does work but cuts out at higher revs

                    I noticed yesterday when I was going to start her up after a long ride (I literally shut her off and put the sidestand down and was going to start her up again immediately).

                    But no, it wouldn't fire. So I thought of bumpstarting, and it fired immediately.

                    Didn't really think much about it for the rest of the day, but this morning it wouldn't start with the stand down. It cuts the ignition when the stand is down, in neutral or not.

                    Is there any point disassembling it? Or should I ordered a new?

                        @irongamer727 Sounds more like the neutral switch is faulty.

                        Does it start if you pull the clutch in?

                            It starts with the stand down and the clutch in.
                            But cuts out as soon as I release the clutch(in neutral)

                              @irongamer727 Definitely one of the switches have failed. I still need my morning coffee to think about which one.

                                Check and clean the neutral switch, also test earth at connector to battery or frame, had both before

                                    @irongamer727 Under the gear lever. It's the black plastic tapped m8 or 10 bolt.

                                      @calum yeah of course, should I just clean it off? Or follow the cable all the way up?

                                        I've cleaned everything up. The neutral lamp and all that works. Could it still be faulty?

                                          I found the earth was faulty on my red bike, see posts, corroded and oxidised cable. If you have a multimeter test resistance of the cable. Easier to remove loom and take loom tape off and examine earth in detail if testing shows fault
