Is it a clean simple cut out when you put it in first or a stall? Is the bike upright or still on the side stand?
I don't know if that model had the tilt switch as well or just the side stand down cut-out. If it has the tilt switch then as well as the wires coming from a switch on the side stand mounting bracket there is an additional switch with 2 wires on the underside or back of the clutch lever assembly, it is easy enough to check the switch operation with a multi-meter or short the wires together temporarily to eliminate a switch problem.
It is more usual to get a problem with the switch on the side stand though as they can get covered in chain grease which then solidifies over time. Try tracing the 2 wires from the side-stand coming up (normally along the frame tube behind the front edge of) the left hand side panel to where they meet the main wiring harness at bullet connectors and check that switches operation by holding the bike upright and putting the side stand up and down while a multi-meter is connected. Again you can link the wiring harness bullets together temporarily to eliminate any side-stand switch problems.
