Yeah, on my '87 US Savage the clutch must be disengaged before the starter will turn over.
Also, try disconnecting, cleaning, and re-connecting all the connectors under the seat and tank. This cleared up some electrical problems I was having-- apparently they're real cheap connectors and very corrosion-prone. And I, too, have heard that the starter button can be problematic.
Hope this helps,
