He probably cut that switch because he was having problem with it too...
The resolution for a side stand switch problem is to simple clean the contact on the inside - cutting it is drastic. I don't know how it's wired off hand, but I'm assuming he simply shorted the other two wires into each other to trick the bike into thinking that the contact was always made, right?
You need to find the other side of that "repair" and see what he was doing to make the bike start. If that has come loose, for example, then you would get no spark, IIRC.
