rgvlc Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) These are good solid bikes with not many problems to speak of. Main thing is look to see if it has been maintained well as any other make and model of trials bike. Check shock and suspension for smooth operation. Check wheel bearings and the expensive shock linkage bearings . The only specific problems on the Techno are --- rear brake does it work?? as they are a pig to bleed---- Is the fan working when warmed up as this could be the fan switch or regulator/rectifier---- check the gearbox oil for milkiness as this will need a bearing and / or impeller change if so, although this is a cheap fix. Price £300 for an early one in poor condition----- £600 - £700 for a used but good runner or £1000 for a very nice one that needs nothing doing. Condition and evidence of good maintenance is everything Edited July 13, 2015 by rgvlc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
