On the wiring diagram the switch is shown (and labeled even)
Kickstand UP shorts the wires together
Down, opens the wires. Or disconnects them from each other for you non-tech types
So to bypass or test the switch problem, just connect the 2 wires together somehow. Like with a jumper.
The connections could be dirty or corroded. I have read that on some bikes, going over bumps could cause the kickstand to jostle and break the connection. Make sure your kickstand is returning to the full up position and that the spring is tensioned ok.
