This is true for the GSXR but not for the SV, if you do things properly.
The SV clutch switch connects to two places: the relay next to the fuse block, and the ECU. It's the connection to the relay that prevents the starter motor from running with the clutch out. So if you ground the clutch switch wire where it goes into the relay, the starter will work provided the bike is in neutral or the stand is up.
If at the same time you cut the wire that runs to the ECU, then as far as the ECU knows, the clutch is out. Logically then, it can't apply any sort of map-change.
You might imagine that if the ECU thinks the clutch is out it will somehow stop the starter from working... but it doesn't, at least on the K3 (and all the later models from what I've heard).
