Should I be able to start the bike with the side stand down and trany in neutral????

No, then you must bypass the switch.

If the side stand switch has been jumped, but no otherwise.

OK, I have two friends who have a R1150 and a Yamaha. Their bikes will start on the side stand and in neutral. It doesn't bother me at this point. I have had the bike for awhile, though at times it would be nice to start it on the side stand. Oh well....

Buy part # 61121459998  CONTACT RING to bypass the switch, and you can do as your friends.
(But don`t blame me, if you ride away with the sidestand down).

No I'm going to leave it just as it is.

Pick up that part just in case. Someday your bike won't start and its a quick trouble shoot to by pass the side stand switch. Those switches can be a little flaky.;)
