Side stand switch does nothing

[His Dudeness]

If the switch has no effect the two wires going to the switch must be connected together or the contacts in the switch must be connected together and aren't moving. You could try unplugging the switch from the loom and see if the bike cuts out when you put it in gear. It should since unplugging it is the same as the stand being down. If it doesn't cut out then the wires must be joined in the main loom
