If the plugs are keeping it from turning over, then it might need new ones.

I think he is just using the wrong term. Being a mechanic for years, I've heard people refer to a non starter as not turning over.

If it just needed plugs wouldn't you go buy a set for $12 and get the bike running? Seems too easy to me. I see this a lot. Saw one yesterday that said "Only problem is a small oil leak. Should take about 2 minutes to fix". Then why the hell don't you fix it?

Yeah, My favorite is "Only needs a battery"

I once brought a battery with me to one of those just to see the guy squirm.:laugh:

Says mr. seller: "I can't let you do that in case you sue me for blowing up my car":huh:

Take the $1000 and use it as a down payment on a new one.
