It's a super simple switch. Hard to beleive it's bad. Usually it's the wire.
Before you tear antyhing apart, get a continuity checker or Volt/Ohm meter and check to see if you get continuity between the neutral wire and engine ground when in neutral.
Basically the circuit is: when in neutral, switch closes connection, you get complete circuit.
And... the neutral / sidestand diode makes the engine die if not in N when sidestand down. Check to make sure the wiring is not loose.
