Sidestand switches seem to be universally unreliable, whatever the bike. If you've got the habit of checking the stand is up before you set off, you don't really need one.
On my XT, the switch was gone long before I had the bike. This is fine by me - less to go wrong.

I messed about with the side stand switch today just because it was accessable but I thought afterwards that only kills the engine when you put it in gear with the side stand down, could a fault in that randomly affect the starter button ? the green lights are still on on the clocks.
