This wasn't an issue as the new lever didn't have a tab to hold the switch in. However the bike began to stall when pulling the clutch in, huh!
A quick scout on the sv650 forum and it appears the micro switch sends a signal to the engine management system and this somehow dictates the revs once it's pulled in?

Anyway a little bit of thinking and I came up with this. The old lever is on the left clearly showing a large "tab" to activate the switch. A 3mm hole was drilled in the new lever,
I then shaped a stainless rivet and looped the end so there was a good contact point to push the switch. Epoxy resin bonded into place and a small piece of black shrink wrap and "voila" job done.
Hopefully this is the stalling issue and only time will tell now if it solves the problem. The bike has been fine up until fitting the levers so it does seem significant.
