Restarts in nutral over and over again till in gear... clutch switch works fine (checked and cleaned anyways...) Unplugged clutch switch and no problem putting in gear and riding... suspect a relay?

    Locate the Safety Circuit Relay.
    Un-Plug the Relay.
    See if that helps.

    If it does ... you might have the wrong type relay trying to act as a Safety Relay.

    Safety Relays, although appearing IDENTICAL to Lighting and Power Relays ... are wired differently.
