I feel like we need a template for posting problems, like I made for users to report IT problems...
Summary: A few sentences describing the problem.
Steps to reproduce: List the actions you did, in order, for this situation to happen.
Desired results: What did you expect to happen after doing the above steps?
Actual results: What actually happened when you did those steps?
Reproducibility: How often does this outcome happen? Every time? Most of the time? Occasionally? Can't get it to do it again?

either one with damaged wiring could keep it from turning over.
the clutch is on the other side of the bike. I doubt it's messed up.

The kickstand switch will only kill the engine if the bike is in gear with the clutch out (i.e. as you let the clutch out to ride off with the stand down). The neutral switch is essentially overridden in any situation by having the clutch pulled. The neutral indicator light is also grounded through that switch, so if the dash light works properly, then the switch is inherently working properly.
Assuming the clutch switch is working, having the clutch pulled will allow the bike to start and run regardless of the state of the other switches.
