broken ignition suzuki 125 - telecaster
I have "inherited" a rather batterd suzuki 125 motor cycle.

The ignition seems to be broken .ie the key will go in but wont turn.

How do I start the bike in this condition to see if it is a runner or non runner?

Tried lubricating the lock?

I *may* know of a way of bypassing the ignition and hot wiring the bike if it's similar to Yamaha and Honda wiring (depending on age of bike of course), but for obvious reasons I won't post it on a public forum.

Try lubricating the lock first - something like WD40.

If still no success, email me (my usual mod address) and I'll see if I can help.

Is it the correct key?

you should get a replacement on that internet auction site thingy for about £15.
