Which clutch switch did you check? There are two.

From the ETM:

Symptom: Starter operates in neutral, but not in gear with clutch lever depressed and side stand switch UP.

Diagnosis: Open circuit or faulty reverse diode assembly, clutch switch, or side stand switch; do test C1.

Test C1 reads:

TEST C1: Clutch Switch Isolation
1. Disconnect C326 (clutch switch connector). With side stand switch Up, check continuity of GRN/WHT circuit to ground.
If yes, go to step 2.
If no, check GRN/WHT circuit, side stand switch, and GRN circuit at C28 for an open.

2. Disconnect C325 (clutch switch connector). Check continuity across clutch switch with clutch lever depressed.
If yes, check GRN/RED circuit for an open. If OK, replace reverse diode assembly.
If no, replace clutch switch.

Get out on the road, above 35mph, push your clutch lever forward until it bottoms out, hold it there with your fingers. Try activating the cruise control. If it activates, you may want to check out this thread:
