Anyway, i put the new switch on and now the revs stay the same with the clutch in or out. i guess the contacts get worse with age...Simple fix.

This makes no sense...

The clutch switch basically serves one purpose - it prevents the engine from being started if the clutch lever is not pulled in.

Unless your bike has a TRE, the clutch switch shouldn't affect revs when the transmission is in neutral.

If you do have a TRE, the revs actually should drop with the clutch in.

True should make no difference at all ,I junked my clutch switch many moons ago not worth the hassle

 

I've noticed on my 05 that with or without the TRE, when I start to ease the clutch OUT, the revs increase by a couple hundred rpm. I usually 2 finger it and when I plop the bike in gear, the revs jump up a little. If I have the clutch to the bar and put it in gear, revs stay the same as in neutral until I ease it out to 2 finger gap. Really just an observation as everything works just fine on the bike.
