The Kill switch only kills the ignition feed. Normally to the coil.
You will find that the starter circuit still gets power. But the engine will not fire if the kill switch is on.

Might you have the number of the key with your vehicle papers? The dealer can get a key based on the number. A locksmith will charge you at least $75.00 for this service.

The dealer will sell you a new switch for probably $30 to $40.00.

They are tamper resistant screws which take a special tool to remove. (keeps the average theif from unbolting your ignition switch and easily hot wiring the bike) however the bolts can be drilled out to gain access to the switch and then replaced with a standard type screw upon reinstallation, the choice is yours.

good luck...lol

If all the fuses turn out good especially the main fuse then you might want to check your starter solenoid. Try jumping the two leads on the solenoid if the bike starts then most likely the solenoid is bad. If it doesn't start then it could be two other things. 1- your Ignitions might be shoot. tell tail signs. Bike cutting out during the ride and bike loses power when you hit the starter button but power returns when you turn the key off then back on. 2- The Rectifier might be gone. The rectifier will cause many different problem that might have you chasing carb problems, to the bike won't start at all with no cranking
