Cheers guys, oil ordered and will fiddle this weekend

Thanks for the advice, 15 minutes of wobbling around an obliging friend's paddock freed the clutch up. Still sticks occasionally and can drag intermittently so will change the oil and dress the plates as suggested. On a positive note after an hours practice the lad is tackling ever tighter turns and the occasional (small) log. I think he's getting interested

Just purchased a 2006 Beta 125 for my son to learn to ride on, he and I have zero knowledge of trials. The bike had been standing for some time prior to our purchase, having ridden it we have found the clutch to be inoperative (will immediately set off when a gear is selected, will stall if the brakes are applied even with the clutch lever fully applied). I've searched the forum and realise this is a common issue sometimes cured by following the sticky clutch mod and/or bleeding the clutch My question is do the symptoms we're experiencing (stalling when brakes applied) sound likely as a result of being left to stand or should I fear something worse? I've tried running the bike in gear while on a stand and applying the rear brake harshly in an attempt to 'free' the clutch to no avail, any thoughts gratefully received..

Hi all, just purchased a Beta 125 for my son to learn to ride on. I ride on road and green lanes but have zero knowledge of trials, looking forward to a steep learning curve
