I'm with you on your guess bud, just an idea but is there any chance of you bypassing your side stand switch and seeing if it works that way, my understanding is with the side stand down the starting/ignition circuit is broken with it up its not so disconnect the side stand switch, connect the wires to make your bike think the stand is up and try from there. If she goes then you know what it is, the other option is of course going with your hunch and getting a new switch and replace it.
I'm not a technical bloke but will have a dabble and I learn from that, I am sure there are much more experienced people in the art of dabbling on here that could explain better. Good luck

I've tried bypassing the switch it didn't seem to make any difference I'm guessing the switch gives a certain amount of resistance for the cut off relay to work ? I'm not that great with electrical stuff .

Bike should start with side stand down with bike in neutral or clutch pulled in in gear but engine should cut out if you select a gear, & start with stand up in neutral, so I would say you need to clean switch maybe easier to remove it to do that, but if you trace the wiring from the switch you could disconnect the plug as a temp measure.

My bike previously would only start in neutral, with the side stand down or up.
Turned out to be the clutch switch (think that is what its called) didn't work with the short levers that had been added. had to modify the the clutch switch in order to sort it.

Gotta ask the obvious, is the clutch cable adjusted properly at both ends?

Nope . I can hear the cut off relay kicking in soon as its put into gear so I'm pretty sure its not the clutch .
