The shuddering could be rollers, belt or clutch. 

When's the test, why a new X9 125?

Check the obvious like bulbs and the connector to the lamp, but if the bike starts there must be power through the handle switches it tends to point to a blown fuse in the digidash where the power passes through for the blown bulb warning.
Bridge the pins like you did on the old bike. Photo in the gallery if you remember.
Shuddering could be wheel balance on the rear wheel.

yes , if it needs a new rear tyre , that could be the fault, also  get a rear back light bulb asap , very naughty they didn't replace it...IMO

The brake light may just need pluggin in - it has five bulbs so they rarely all go at once.

The brake light on mine had corroded at the pins.  I resoldered direct to the PCB and removed the plastic connector gubbins and fitted a longer cable so it was easier to access the battery.

It's currently at £560 but says that it's reserve hasn't been met yet.

It has a buy it now price of £800, so I'd suspect that the his reserve is somewhere between £700 and the £ 800.

9 hours to go.

Best of luck, it looks to me a very good buy, the top box is Rickman, I think they still make it (I've got one ready to fit to a Bantam), the panniers have what looks like a Rickman badge on them, although they are more rounded than any I've seen.
Hope you get it,
Regards

Well the seller said i could take it away for £650, but my mate cant take me down. Some one offered him £700 so iam going to let it go.   With the Brake lights and the shuddering  iam not interested at £800.

Why didn't you offer to pay a paypal deposit of say £100 to show good faith and would pick it up and pay the balance when your mate could take you for it?

Personally,i would leave it,my gut feeling is it'll be more trouble than its worth unless you are a confident mechanic.It finished at £550.00 reserve not met.

Probably far too far away for you, but I do know that CBS Whitton have a decent condition X9 125 Evo for which they'll probably not want more than GBP800.  So good buys from reputable suppliers are out there.
