Motorcycle Engine Stand

What could cause a motorcycle to fall out of neutral gear from a standing, non moving position?
To start up my bike I have to pull in the clutch and have the kickstand up. I can’t get off the bike and put the kickstand down while it’s warming up or the engine will die (as if it were in first gear) When stopping and sitting still, I don’t have to hold in the clutch, but at no time does the neutral light any longer display. What gives? I waste at least 8 minutes of every day sitting on the bike while it warms. That’s 44.8 hours a year admiring the pavement.
Does your bike have a kick stand safety switch that kills the engine when the kick stand is down ?
So you can’t drive away with the kick stand down – try a ohm meter continuity test on your switch
-> First locate the switch ~ near/at kick stand, visually look at the wiring, see what happens when the switch is open then closed with the ohm meter. Bad switch / rewiring at the switch to bypass switch or_ replace switch. question is_ do you have a kick stand safety switch ?
Some bikes don’t, do you have a light on your gauges that indicate kick stand down?
To me Sounds like, this is what it is.
Could be the neutral safety switch_ ?
or Welcome to the Wonderful World of tracking down an electrical short -
Iam not making fun of you or etc., it’s just challenging to find the bad spot in the wiring
at times. Good luck w/things.
