13 volts or more means the bike's charging system is keeping up with the electrical load ( all the bits ) on the bike.
So that sounds normal and as expected but worth checking.
If you want to eliminate the sidestand switch temporarily whilst riding; connect one of the terminals ( the one connected to the sidestand switch ) to the chassis of the bike, use a piece of wire and make sure the chassis ground is a reliable contact on the chassis.
This is just a convenient point to use in eliminating the cause of the stalling.
This will bypass ( jumper ) the sidestand switch and the wiring to it so if the problem still exists it is not the sidestand switch and we can eliminate it.
If the clutch switch is not connected it means the bike can be started as normal except not in gear, the start circuit uses the neutral switch to energize the start relay inside the fusebox as per normal, the ground side of the starting circuit uses either the neutral switch or the clutch switch in order to start the engine.
