Starting Issue

[bucsfin]

Hi, new to this forum and to motorcycles. I recently purchased a 2004 Suzuki GZ250 from a state auction to learn how to ride. I'm super excited and really like the size. The bike only has 3200 miles and had a known starting issue when I purchased. A friend of mine also purchased the same model only difference is 2005 model year. I have switched out and put on the other bike, the ignition coil, ignitor, and regulator/rectifier to test and all worked perfectly. I also checked the fuses, checked the spark plug for fouling, and replaced the battery. All switches seem to be in working order. I'm unsure about the side stand switch and don't know how to test it. The lights come on, the neutral light is on, the engine turns over, but I can't get it to even begin to show signs of attempting to start. I'm hoping to gain some knowledge and possibly a solution to this issue. Thanks in advance.
