clutch micro switch

Maybe a squirt of contact cleaner.
Personally, I removed mine when it started playing up, cleaned it thoroughly & bench tested it before refitting. Probably not a long term fix though; these things tend to fail at the most inconvenient moments.

If you think its the micro switch, find the plug and test the micro switch with a multi-meter it will make and break if its not change it. You could also check the side stand switch as it is also needs to be working in the circuit to allow starting. If the bike has been exposed to water ie-pressure washing the gear position selector at the back of the gearbox maybe an issue as that is where the neutral switch gets its input.
Initially if the fault is still there check both micro switches if the fault has gone try to reproduce it then proceed with testing. The neutral switch would be the last thing I would try.

The position of the switch is adjustable. Just try moving it slightly. .
Side stand still down?

Hi, did you ever find out what the fault was? As my r1200gs lc has the same issues.
This is such a regular issue with riders away from home, specially those riding a bit off road
It does make you wonder if we should install a switch to turn the feature on or off while at home in the garage.
why wait while your in the middle of Africa or wherever lol
if it fails, hop off bike lift the seat (or wherever you put switch) and flick.... back on the road
something to consider.
