It's a Yamaha - the bike will start in neutral without the clutch lever pulled in.

I'm more curious about why you would want to remove it. It's a safety switch to prevent you from starting the bike in gear with the clutch engaged.

But to answer your question: you could remove it. The starter relay just won't engage if you're out of neutral.
