Having issues with my kickstand switch, I think that's what they call it, some times I have to take the clutch lever in to start the bike and that's a real hassle, also the battery cuts out sometimes and I don't know if I'm having a starter cut off issue too or if its as a result of the faulty kickstand
 
@Bigjessie it's like your bike decided to give you a workout with the clutch lever and the kickstand switch acting up, but honestly, the battery cutting out could mean it's more than just a faulty kickstand switch—might be worth checking if there's a loose connection or even something going on with the starter relay because those can sometimes play tricks too. Also, have you looked at the wiring for the kickstand switch itself? Sometimes a frayed wire or poor connection there can mess with the whole system. Let us know what you find.
