Like SLOTHY said...inside the clutch lever housing, there's a "clutch interlock/overide"
switch; IF the bike is in gear, you must pull in the clutch lever before it will start....
if the bike is in Neutral, there's no need to pull in the clutch lever.....

If you just switched levers, that might be it too. My 07 will only start in neutral because the levers are pre 06.
