They do not connect to the ignition circuit .. so if yours had that connection then the fault is that connection .. not the switch ..

Assuming that the neutral - clutch - sidestand circuit is done in a similar fashion as on the KL650 Kawasakis you will have to look for a diode block plugged into the wiring loom.
They are very ill (= not mentioned at all) documented in the workshop manuals and only appear somewhere in the wiring diagram. I stumbled acrosss the little bastard while fixing a 2008 KLR on which the tank hat seesawed through the main wiring loom and in the process fused the side stand switch and burned one of the three diodes.
Find the little bastard (a thumbnail size little cube sitting atop a 2 point (single diode) to six point (triple diode) connector) and test with electronic diode tester / multimeter.
