Hi im new here but I have a question. Im potentialy looking at a 82 suzuki gs 450(yes its lame, but im broke:() and its in great condition, with low miles and very few owners. The current owner says it was a great running bike but now has no spark? It still has great compression just no spark?

What could cause this? Would it be a cheap or expensive part?

Thanks In advance

No spark is usualy a lot easier and cheaper to fix than no compression. First things first. Check all fuses. Thats your most likely suspect. If the fuses are all good, then put new plugs in. Still no luck, find a manual or some way of getting a wire diagram. That age bike should be easy to find parts really cheap on ebay. The ignition coil or controller are bout the only things left to be bad.

for $300 I'd have a hard time turning it down. I just got an 89 zx600 with the intent of either a quick fix and something to ride, or double it in parts. I'd be you could have it running for less than a hundred or two if you like it enough.

could be plug, coil, cdi, or stator.

check in this order:

Is hi volt coming from coil pack? if yes, replace plug

if No, is low volt going into coil back primary side? if yes, replace coil pack

If No, is voltage going into CDI from stator? If yes, replace CDI

If No, replace stator/generator in the engine.
