side stand starting

Most likely one of the safety circuit switches.
Check the side stand switch,clutch switch and neutral light.My Multistrada once failed to start due to a manky connection on the neutral switch.It was corroded with winter salt and road shite.

Hi KeefyB

Seems like you beat me to it as the symptons sound as though it thinks its in gear.
The neutral switch is on the back of the crankcases, upper right as you look at the back of the engine. Its a single wire one that is earthed when the shift drum is in the neutral position.
