Yes... I did say that I had tested it with a multi-meter...
it shows the correct change in resistance as the switch is operated
So mentioning twice that I had tested the switch and it was ok wasn't making it clear... have you been to doctors after your crash?
But if the clutch is in then the engine shouldn't engage and the wheel wouldn't move - but the chain doesn't appear too tight. Looks as though it might be too loose if anything
To be honest I really don't expect it to be a mechanical fault due to one test that I did- Engine off, in 1st, clutch pulled in - won't start

With the bike in gear, the side stand must be up and the clutch must be pulled in to start. Since it starts in neutral and the side stand tests correctly then the next test must be the clutch switchBypass the clutch switch by removing the wires to the clutch switch and connect them together with a piece of wire. Does the engine start? If it does replace the clutch switch.
