Sorry i made a mistake in my post, wont post late after a beer again.
You can ignore the engine cut off switch as you know it works from when you shorted the solenoid because the bike started and ran rich smelling. So checking that is pointless even if you are in the switch housing. Because she started this also means the clutch switch is probably ok.
Also, it is the start button and lights that often share a common 12v feed. That shared 12v input is split between the lightswitch and the starter button creating 2 different circuits (starter and lights) from one 12v fused input. The engine cut off switch, like the side stand and clutch switches, are part of a spark inhibitor circuit which means the engine will turn over but with no spark.
