    the switch is probably dirty or worn out. clean it + see if it gets better... if not, replace

    Disabling not recommended. Flush it out with contact cleaner.

    Well, since "messing with" it makes the problem come and go, and the symptoms are consistent with a flaky sidestand switch; I'd say you've got it diagnosed.

    It could be the wiring or one of the associated relays; but the switch itself is usually at the top of the "suspect list" because of where it's located.
