malcolm Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hello all, Looking to maybe buy a beta 125 2013. Can anyone advise on what to lookout for. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdabalot Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I had Evo 250's from 09 to 12, some frames and swinging arms cracked on 09's but mine was ok (Lampkins were replacing frames for free if they did). My '11 blew it's oil out after 3 months and was renewed without hesitation by Lampkins. Apart from that Check for usual neglect on linkage and steering bearings, wheel bearings may seize and then spin damaging the hub. Plastics are brittle too. I can't advise on the engine much, never had a 125, but same bottom end and they seem strong enough, they all develop clutch drag, making neutral selection dufficult and the plates stick, so when you park them up tie the clutch lever back, this'll stop you going out of control when you start the engine, select a gear and then find you have no clutch release.
