You start the bike in neutral put it in gear with the stand down and it stalls.

SIDESTAND SAFETY SWITCH DISENGAGEMENT
 

  Procedure for the sidestand bypass.  There are kits out there, such as from
Evoluzione that will work great if you don't feel like cutting into any wires.

NOTE:  Performing this mod will prevent the bike from shutting off if placed into gear.  ALWAYS REMEMBER the
sidestand if you don't want to crash.  Perform this mod at your own risk!

The following steps describe the process of disengaging the side-stand switch and eliminating its wire.  In essence, all
you need to do is take the 2-pin connector and connect the BLUE wire running to it - to ground.  All other work is to
make sure it looks pretty. The entire process should not take more than 30 minutes.

You will need the following tools:
-          1 metric #6 bolt (M6)
-          1 6" length of electrical wire (gauge 18, about)
-          a needle (or a tiny watch screwdriver)
-          1 metric #8 size wrench/head
-          Electrical tape or heat shrink tubing
-          Screwdriver

Step 1:  Use the M8 wrench/head to remove the side-stand switch/wire assembly (easier done from the right side of
the bike).
Step 2:  Trace the wire up to the first connecter (this is where all of the work will be done) and unplug the switch
wire assembly.
Step 3:  Pull out the 3 wires running into the connector of the disconnected side-stand assembly (use the needle to
carefully pull out the red cover inside the connector. You now have access to the locking mechanism of the 3-pin
connector.  Once again, using the needle, carefully push out on the tab next to each pin, while gently pulling on the
actual wire on the other side of the connector.)  You now have an empty 3 pin connector.
Step 4:  Take the 6" length of wire and insert it into the side of the connector marked "1".  Wrap with electrical
tape to keep the wire sturdy in the connector.  Heat-shrink tubing would work as well (if not better).  Connect the
connector back to the 2-pin connector running to the bike.
NOTE: you should see the new wire connect to the BLUE wire running to the bike. The other - BLACK - wire is left
unused.
Step 5:  Strip the end of the 6" wire, make a loop, and secure it with the M6 bolt to the chassis.
You are done. Enjoy!
PS. If the bike doesn't start make sure that the new wire actually connects with the blue wire in the connector (can
use an Ohm meter if you want to get scientific), and/or that you have made a good connection with ground (chassis).

TPO has one. nice and neat

On my M900, I simply removed the cable completely from the side stand and placed a pin in the socket end of the  plug with effectively closed the circuit. Tuck the cable behind the frame and your done. Be careful however before you ride away to raise the kick stand. I used to forget all the time and fortunately the stand used to bounce up and never stacked it...... could probably easily happen.

Thanks for that Dannog

judging by the pictures in the link provided i should be able to make something similar myself...

Marty, you can wire it up so you can start in neutral, but the engine will die if you put it in gear with the stand down.
I did it not long ago. It's awesome ;D
