Bike not starting

[Guest]

Hi all

I'm looking at buying a project bike. It's a Suzuki marauder 125. The buyer says the ignition light is on but there's no response from the engine

Has anyone any ideas what the issue could be? Is it wiring? Or worse

Thanks

What's an ignition light ? Maybe you mean oil light or neutral light. Possible causes of no response might be flat battery, side stand switch faulty, clutch safety switch faulty or missing, stuck starter motor, solenoid stuck, solenoid fuse blown / missing, seized engine, broken wiring, corroded connections. You've just got to methodically work through the problem. A circuit tester might be useful, Wilkinson do one for about twelve quid .
