As I said before, I'm fairly sure there is some kind of diode (??) that figures in the kickstand switch and I'm fairly sure it won't run if bypassed.

If it were me I'd just replace the sidestand switch, If that didn't do it, I'd clean and/or replace the kill switch. Last but not least, I'd check the neutral safety switch.

This is gettin' old, just fix the damn thing and let us know what it was.
