2) I'm not about to get blamed/sued for any "safety switch bypass accident"...

It's easy to do and the info is out there and just as easy to find... just apply the knowledge from one of the "big 4 brands" to your "China Bike" if you want to bypass those safety/annoyance switches.
1) If it was that easy to find the answer the person asking might not be asking.

2) If you're afraid to post up a fix why bother posting up just to post a reason to not help?

If I knew these bikes better I'd give an answer, but I just got into the China bike world. Tho many would think that all bikes are the same in this regard, they are not. Many bikes are wired so that the clutch/sidestand/gear position safeties are different and can't be bypassed in the same ways.

Yes, a lot more helpful would have been, "have you checked your clutch switch". I feel stupid for assuming I didn't have one.

So... no one wants to post the fix...lol fine I will be the helpful one... take the two wires at the clutch lever and tie them together, or get a replacement clutch switch as yours is obviously bad...lol I cut the ends of ,one and crimped them together long ago....

Once it was pointed out that the clutch switch was the issue, I had my fix figured out. I was going to jumper it until I upgraded to a hydraulic clutch, but, decided to try to fix the existing switch.

The switch came out in pieces, but, I was able to get it out and bend the internal metal contacts such that they closed the circuit when the clutch lever is squeezed.

Now I can start the bike in gear if the clutch is disengaged.

All is good!
