[QUOTE="txkawboy, post: 1357053, member: 48628"] This miight be a worthy project, but here is my two pence: 1. Lay the bike on its side and remove the clutch cover, to inspect/verify that it is working/not...in 30sec you can remove the drive plates to see if they are totally worn off, which would be simple and cheap to fix, tho I have yet to see a clutch so worn that the bike will not even TRY to move... MORE likely is that the outer basket is so worn that it has such deep grooves dug into it by the tabs of the drive plates, that the drive plates are not being allowed to fully grab the steel plates, which would NOT be cheap to fix unless you get very lucky and the grooves can be flat-filed that much, but I really, really doubt it. If the 2. Also, if u can put the bike in 1st and then easily push the bike around the garage w/o pulling in the clutch lever, truly your clutch is not grabbing at ALL, which would be very weird, even if someone has ridden it until the plates were so worn that the bike would not take off. Failing this, join ktmtalk and see if there is any model-specific info. KTM's are marvelous quality, but a 20yr old 125 is a real anomaly, so---! As with anything used, add up the $$ to fix it in a worst-case scenario, then see if $350 is still a bargain or not. If the guy will readily agree to letting you load up the bike and let a shop estimate the $$ to fix it, then he is at least probably honest---but could be honestly WRONG. [/QUOTE]
