My bike wont start when the side stand is down whether or not it is in gear or neutral, but if the side stand is up it starts fine.
SOURCE: engine starts and cuts out when put in gear
Check the position of the sidestand switch, or just disconnect the plug and jumper the contacts together to test.

SOURCE: bike wont start.good spark to plugs.fuel pump
i have the same bike try this. Firstly check the fuel is fairly fresh, using premium fuel on this model seems to work well. drain a little fuel from each carb to remove poss water build up and get fresh fuel. if spark plugs over 6 months old or over 5000 miles change as zxrs` eat plugs a spark does not mean it is allways good. i have changed to irridium plugs and have not had problems since . before you take out plugs turn over the engine a few times then when you remove each plug they should be wet ,if one is dry no fuel so clean carb,remove plug caps before you do this and note exact location of each.good luck Bri.
SOURCE: Bike starts in neutral but when I change gear the engine dies...
Make sure the side stand limit swithch is not at fault ,try by passing the side stand switch .This is a saftey feature and they have been known to give trouble while moving .It maybe a little W / D 40 on the limit button may solve this problem .
SOURCE: bike does not start or
If the neutral light is not working then it's likely the neutral switch is faulty. But most bikes will start in gear provided you have the clutch pulled in and the sidestand up. It could be either the sidestand switch or the neutral switch, I'm guessing neutral switch since your light isn't working either. it's usually located behind the sprocket cover on a white plastic plug but it depends what model you have. They usually don't break but it might be dirty and need cleaning. Most yamahas you can take them out easily, just be prepared in case oil spills as you remove it.
