It is there as a safety device to prevent you trying to start it while in gear and ending up on your arse, so it depends on whether you are careful to make sure you are in neutral when starting
I would be wondering if the signal from the clutch switch performs anything else bedides the saftey aspect. Especially with the newer ecu's. Not that it wouldn't run but it would suck if it stayed on the neutral map.

If you delete this switch you may not be able to install the @DEcosse keyless ignition system as it uses the clutch switch to turn things on - just so you know

Yeah, @HansO and I - well just HansO really had to refit the clutch switch you gave me @Mittzy.
The previous owner of my Roadster had cut the wires at the switch, removed a length and soldered the wires together in the loom as if the switch was always engaged. HansO managed to wire up the pre-used 2nd or 3rd version @DEcosse keyless ignition I acquired from the UK with some difficulties had with the replacement clutch switch. Probably due to my exessive use of a contact cleaner with lubricant followed by syringes of metho, and eventually we left the clutch switch wired in but not mounted in the lever housing as it appeared erratic in remaining or fully disarming when ignition comes on. Hans may remember.
So currently it arms and disarms on departure/approach with the fob and you simply use the kill switch and starter button - done 3500Km that way now so no rush to reinstall the clutch switch.
HansO had been meaning to discuss with DEcosse before the 'off'.
