As the title says, I can't start the engine in 1st with the clutch in (sidestand up), the motor doesn't turn at all.
Anyone able to run through, very simply, what checks I should do before I fork out for my dealer to check it?

Is this the same problem as you posted about last month Skids? Did you rule out the clutch switch?

I've put the oem clutch lever back in and it works perfectly.
What is it on the clutch lever that operates the contacts?

I have the same issue with my aftermarket level. The contact point on the lever does not depress the switch enough. I'm thinking of just adding a small piece of foam tape at the contact area.

What I don't understand is why it worked for almost 20k miles then stopped working.

Am not sure. Maybe the tip of the switch got worn out or something. It's just a small piece of thin plastic afterall.
