Hello there.my baby vara been working fine  never thoight the old model I have even had a side stand sensor. I now have most ANNOYING issue...

When sidestand is UP, engine only starts in neutral but cuts off when I go into gear

When side stand is about a 3rd of the way DOWN (and further) bike starts as normal In any gear and rides totally fine

I can see a wire coming from top of stand, pretty dirty in there

The sensor has never worked as a safety function anyway, is there a way I can just disable it by cutting shorting the cable or something I can do under seat where fuses are?

Any help would be SO Appreciated thanks  :)

I would try and clean it all, then check the wire continuity with a multimeter. Sounds to me like it's reading the reverse of what it should be.

Hope you can fix it, that seems incredibly annoying.

Have you tried giving the whole area a good clean with contact cleaner? Sometimes these sensors can get pretty gunked up and start doing weird things.
