Unfortunatly there isn't an easy bypass if it has the original wiring. The run & start are on a PCB (computer chip) in the right handlebar control housing, additionally it uses a ground switch to activate / communicate with the main computer (EHC) which is also controlling the compression release at the same time it is starting it. You can put a slam button on so once you turn the key you can just hit the starter but won't activate the compression release and isn't probably a good idea for normal use.

Welcome from NJ,
The Run part of the switch tells the EHC to send power to the Ign control module and the Start button sends a signal to the EHC to activate the compression releases and the starter at the same time.
To bypass the on/off you would need to install a switch to send 12 volts to the Ign module. Also you would need the slam button that SCC007 suggested in order to crank your starter. Both are nice to have as a back up if your EHC craps out. If needed, you would have to manually push in one of your compression releases unless you have extra hands available.
Unless your interested in the Back up starting system it's would be much faster to just replace the Rt side switch.
This link will help you verify that the switch is indeed your issue. Cleaning the connection may be all you need. Good Luck
