I have a 99reg 125cc Suzuki Marauder. Its screeching in 1st gear and have to immediatly put it into 2nd. Only happening last two days but it did get soaking wet (Irish weather) if this has a bearing on the problem. Is it serious and how can I fix it? Thank you for any help you can provide!
Check the gear lever isnt stiff or seized.
Try draining the transmission oil, then in neutral and the back tire elevated slowly rotate the tire in first gear. If you feel any hesitation chances are you need to change the 1st gear bearing.
SOURCE: Tyre Pressure
As always, correct pressure depends on the tyre fitted but if it is running with the standard tyres that it had fitted from new then:
Single rider: Front is 1.75 bar (25 PSI) Rear 2.0 (29 PSI)
Fully loaded (Panniers and or pillion passenger) Front 2.0 bar (29 PSI) Rear 2.25 bar (32 PSI)
These settings from the book for a 2006 model, though I imagine that they apply to all with very little if any variation

hi your exhaust is a sealed item,also your bike is a 4 stroke,why would you need to clean the baffles?only reason these would block up is if you are burning oil,if you are then i would think about a top end overhaul
SOURCE: Bike turns off when I put in 1st or 2nd gear
First replace the clutch,clutch basket,and throw out bearing that has been destroyed,check the cable for damage and if you still have the same problem,Then check the kick stand switch.

This sounds like a slightly bent shift fork. Extremely dirty gearbox oil can also cause the problem, so I suggest you start there. The fork replacement is very costly. Have a dealer look at it if changing oil doesn't help. Get their opinion first hand and get a quote on repair costs.
