lanerpleze Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hi all, recently bought a beta techno which has turned out to be a pain the a*** and money pit. Had all sorts of issues from brakes to fork seals etc etc... However my new issue is that when i pull in the clutch lever to try and freewheel the bike (whilst its n gear) it won't move, the couch isn't disengaging. Its also very hard to get into 1st. should i be bale to click ut through all gears with the engine off? I'm reluctant to start the thing atm all help appreciated. cheers George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heffergm Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 It's perfectly normal that with the engine off and bike in gear the rear wheel doesn't spin freely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanerpleze Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Cheers for the info Heffergrm and fast belly, even with the clutch lever pulled in? I assumed it should coast as piling the lever in disengages drive? Thanks bilks I will read through that. Line away. Thanks for the info. The guy that sold it to me said it was 2000 so I took his word for it. The bike was a bad buy tbh. Trying to figure out how to fit a kill switch too. Any info on this anywhere? I can't find any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post pictures, description, (all purple. red, orange guards, bumble bee yellow)might check the Beta websites on VIN numbers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanerpleze Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) I really appreciate all the help guys. I'm a total newbie and I've been and bought a bit of a dog of a bike it seems. Here's a picture of the wiring I have on the bike.... It's. 1999 beta techno Dougie lampkin replica.
