Default Starter problem ?

This is a new one to me but perhaps one of our band has had this happen.....

Put the bike into first gear the other day, clutch in, pushed starter - slight dimming of panel lights but NOTHING from the starter - not a peep.
Played with the kill switch a couple of times....still nothing.

Put the bike in neutral and tried again.......fired up straight away.

(No, the side stand wasn't down) LoL

Anyone have a clue as to what's causing this ?

I'm baffled.

Yeah sounds like the clutch lever switch to me as well, if everything else checks out?
