Micro switch on S2R clutch

[UK_DoubleDuke]

I have new masters and levers for my S2R from an Aprilia Mille.
They do not have the micro switch on the underside, as per the original.
Is the micro switch an interlink between the clutch and side stand?

Clutch interlock switch is there to ensure the bike doesn't start in gear unless the clutch is pulled. Bike will not start at all with the stand down unless it is in neutral.
I have a set of CRGs for my S2R800 and they aren't set up for the switch either. I engineered a solution with a small piece of aluminum that utilizes one of the pivot screws on the lever as a mounting point. Pull the clutch in and the aluminum piece hits the switch. It's kind of similar to what a member on TOB by the username p-nut used to make and sell for the same specific purpose. Works well with the stock master. The Aprilia may be adjustable, but may not have a convenient screw nearby to use as a mounting point. Study it and see. As an aircraft tech I'm sure you could devise a solution.
Some just splice the wires going to the switch together, but this eliminates the safety functionality and allows you to unknowingly start the bike while in gear without pulling the clutch. For people like me who sometimes forget things this wouldn't be the best choice.

Another solution, though it's got a big pitfall, is to jump that switch. By doing so the bike will act as if the clutch lever is always pulled, so it would allow you to start the bike, in gear, with the clutch lever out....

Instead of the current banjo bolt that connect the fluid line to your master cylinder

Excellent.
I will get one and show the results here.

Many thanks.
