I have a 1990 ZX10 that when I hit the start button the light flickers bit nothing else happens. The battery is charged and everything. What could this be?

Hi Ramon, some questions for you:
When you state "light flickers" do you mean the neutral light or headlight?
Is there any strange noises like a clicking sound when you press the starter button.
When was the last time the bike started successfully with the battery you currently have?
Is it a lead acid battery and how old is it?

Random guess but easy to verify: The clutch is destroyed and springs and pressure plate are pressing against the engine clutch cover. The common starter tensioner issue.
