LET'S GO BRANDON
The clutch switch is a simple 2 wire switch it tells the computer the clutch is out if the computer does not see a ground. When you pull the lever in, the switch connects the two wires and the computer sees the ground, so it knows the lever is in. If you "fixed" the switch by splicing or joining those two wires, then the computer always thinks the clutch is pulled in.
Then lever has to be pulled in to start the bike-period. If you can start the bike w/out pulling in the clutch, then the computer thinks the clutch is always in.
If you want to check, start the bike, then disconnect those two wires and see if your fuel gauge works (might to drive a few miles or wait a few minutes for it to update).
There was a thread about something similar awhile back when ArekDeBoss was having issues with his clutch switch. I didn't realize that the ECU used that signal for so many other things when I suggest he bypass it. There was a whole discussion about the computer doing funny things when you did that. I guess once you report back we can add the fuel gauge to the list of funny things!
I would expose the two wires.
twist them together to get the thing to start
untwist/separate them and see what happens.
