On the NewGen, the clutch switch is connected to the sidestand switch rather than directly to ground (as found on the PreGen and 500). For the NewGen clutch switch to work, the stand has to be up also. I assume this is a tweak to prevent you from just holding the clutch to start it while it's in gear and you're not on the bike. Letting go of the clutch after that would kill it, but it might lurch forward, possibly right off the sidestand.

He has a pregen? 2007.......
I have video of my wife's pregen dying as soon as it's put in gear with the stand down. I was behind her at the gas station and she couldn't figure out why it was dying. I'll admit I was laughing a bit.
