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

It's perfectly normal that with the engine off and bike in gear the rear wheel doesn't spin freely.

Normal, my Gasser dont move if in gear.

By the way the techno was from`94-`99.

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

Yup even warm and with the clutch pulled in....

The kill switch depends on what year it is. Post pictures, description, (all purple. red, orange guards, bumble bee yellow)might check the Beta websites on VIN numbers,

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.

Good bike but the previous owner was obviously a hack. I feel for ya.

Yeh the whole bike has been bodged together.

any one any ideas how to attach my lanyard kill switch into this loom?

There will be 2 wires from the lanyard. One of them needs connecting to the black wire from the CDI the other to earth on the frame.
