Cozi70 is on a distinguished road
Xt660z not starting. Think it might be the ignition switch.

I started the bike as usual this morning and 2 times after that. But while in the big smoke it refused to start. Here's the story.
Ignition turns on as normal,dash all good but nothing from the starter motor. Checked usual battery connections as just replaced the battery. Solinoid not sending power out to the main feed lead so I bypassed the solinoid and there's no spark at the plug.
Checked both side stand and clutch switch operation and all looks good but I may temporarily bypass them.
Then I noticed that I can now remove the ignition key with the power on which is new!
Any ideas folks?
