Bike won't start up

[CookMySock]

look for any switch near the side stand and remove it maybe bypass the switch by make a continuous loop see if it stalls when take off

Be very careful bypassing the stand switch. It's there for a good reason.

You can check it - just start and put the bike in first gear, and flick the stand down - bike should instantly quit.

All bikes with sidestand switches I've seen inhibit starter operation with the bike in gear, without the clutch disengaged. The ignition system cutout only occurs with the sidestand down (by inclusion of the clutch switch) when when you attempt to engage the clutch, to prevent you riding off with the sidestand down.

I couldn't for the life of me figure that out...
The GSXR is fairly average...in that the clutch lever must be pulled in before it will start, but otherwise has nothing to do with any other sort of cutout.
As far as the sidestand switch is concerned, it 'activates' if the bike is put in gear with the sidestand down.
So, clutch in, in neutral, sidestand up or down = starts.
Clutch in, in gear, sidestand up = starts.
Clutch in, in gear, sidestand down = won't start.
Or..clutch in, in neutral, sidestand down = starts...select a gear = stalls.

I've tried to clarify it.

How about engine running, clutch in, in neutral, sidestand down - select a gear?

IIRC the GSXR1000 I saw would allow you to select a gear with the sidestand down, engine running, but as soon as he tried to move off would cut the ignition. A guy parked next to me did it about 3 times before I, parked on his right, reminded him his sidestand was down. He thought he was stalling it. I'm pretty sure it didn't stall as he selected the gear as it was on a incline and I remember seeing him roll back a little each time and he wouldn't have done that if just selecting the gear, because he'd still have a brake on.

But I could be wrong.

Read my last line...

There may be a clutch-activated cutout, but I've never come across one.

Please young sir humour an old (er) bloke.
on the occasion you havent ridden your bike for a week. DONT try to start it normally.
Connect jumper leads from your battery to a car battery then try to start it.
Just feedback to us what happens.
Re the intermittant cutout I would suggest its time to do some maintainence --specifically wiring. I think a wire has frayed or a plug is partially unplugged

Sweet as all is good, the starting is just when its been cold for a long time. I'm just making sure I ride it every now and again.

Cheers.
