Check your side-stand switch (jammed in).

If it starts then you have not killed the engine, why wouldn't the AA come out ?, check your side stand switch

I read somewhere the side stand switch wiring can be disconnected and the wiring joined together. I have'nt tried it but it might help to definately rule out the stand switch.

As your bike starts and runs until you try to engage gear it strongly suggests that it is something to do with the safety system which prevents riding with the stand down. The owner's manual has a flow-chart type table showing the conditions for correct operation of the ignition etc. It may be a bad earth or similar but is very likely to be the continuity of the side-stand switch.
