June 3, 200620 yr I`ve just bought a 2003 315 after having a 98 Techno for about 5 years so I may be posting in here from time to time now, instead of the beta forum.I still think the Techno is a great bike its just I thought it was time to get something newer, but just as reliable. A thing I like to do, as I did on the Beta ,is check all over to see where its been worn (not due to crashing) to see if I can prevent further wear in any way.My pet hate is the wear on the frame by the footpegs and on the swingarm, so I`ve ordered some of that carbon fibre lookalike sheeting to cover those areas (beta had plastic covers for swingarm)anyone else done this ? or used different stuff?? The only difficult thing I have found so far is switching the fuel petcock on and off,the choke isnt so bad.I have fitted the trick bit (cable tie) ,but still struggle to move it, but hey ho even montesa/honda cant be purfect. I`m off to test it tomorrow for a few hours ,but so far,after the 15 mins of riding in front of my house ,it feels really good ,I hope I stay with that opinion .
June 3, 200620 yr A little tip... Don't mess around with the petrol tap, turn it on and leave it on - 5 years of 315s and it was never a problem, until you turn the tap off.
