clutch switch problem?

Ok I have another question about something I'm not used to. the clutch switch. My bike has died on me twice now while riding, both times it has been very low speed, first gear, with the clutch in. The bike for no reason just stops. It will immediatly fire back up and run fine. So I was thinking that it might be the clutch switch. Is their any way to bypass the switch. I know enough not to start my bike in gear, So I might as well just get rid of the thing. The way I figure If that is what is wrong then bypassing it will solve the problem, If that isn't what is wrong, well then I've elimated one choice in my trouble shooting and just have one less thing to fail in the future.

well, I bypassed the clutch switch. So now the bike thinks the clutch is just always pulled. So, I'll ride it like this for awhile and see if it fixes the problem.

I don't think it will. I suppose it has something to do with the F/I. Mine did it a few times before i installed a PC

And afterall, the power cuts if the side stand is down while in gear, the clutch switch only affects the starter motor
