This problem should be re-tagged gv650.
It's not your clutch, it's the kickstand killswitch. I had the same
issue.
If you look down next to your kickstand on the left hand side you'll see
a silver switch (looks like a mushroom), follow the cables up to the
front end of the chasis near the sump and you'll find a black connector
with two wires coming out of it. You can either bypass the connector
using a piece of wire or just do what I did and clip the wires, wind
them together and crimp them in a connector.
Start your bike and hey presto - problem solved.
Hope this helps.
