scorpa3 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 The Techno's came out in '93, the 315's came out in '96 so the Mont design is a little newer but htere's not much to choose between the two as far as performance and reliability is concerned. I had new Techno's from '95 through to '99 and the only thing that ever went wrong with any of them was the thermostat sender. I also bought a '98 315 for my lad a few years back, (when youths could still ride 250's) that was very reliable but I had to keep replacing the rear spokes, which is an easy job on 315's. The only other problem I came accross on the Mont was the dragging clutch. (This was before the days of TC, so I didn't have the benefit of everyones advice on here.) I never could stop the clutch dragging, so it was impossible to find neutral with the engine running. As stated above, either would be good buys for a begginer, it's all down to the condition of each bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
