If it isn't the clutch switch or the sidestand switch you might have a problem in your right side controls. I had a problem with my kill switch on my S3 had to take it apart and clean the contacts I use the key to shut her down now I don't trust the switch anymore.
i tried with the kick stand up an clutch in nothing i'm stumped. i also too my throttle side controls off an checked them out everything looked fine. i also checked all the fuses and the two relays. i had my battery tested an they said it was fine. I also tried jumping it an noting so im thinking its gotta be an electrical issue

May be a bad starter switch - disassemble if you can, contacts may be worn or just need some electrical cleaner sprayed in it.

I'll go thru my service manual tonight I remember seeing something about diodes somewhere in the main wireing harness for my 98 carbed S3 not sure what they are for or if your bike has them too but I remember something in the trouble shooting guide about them. Anyone no what they do ?
