Re: Magnet Marelli Digiplex Substitute

Thanks! Looks very promising. I will investigate and if I head down this path, I will report back.

Re: Exhaust Headers

The OD of my ‘88 Paso headers from the cylinder to the collector manifold looks to be about 35 mm. Your best bet is to compare part numbers. I am pretty sure that with some patience you can locate used headers. Get her running and riding!

Magnet Marelli Digiplex Substitute

Has anyone tried this or any of the similar ignition suitable substitutes in your 750 Paso, and if so how did it work out? https://www.ebay.com/itm/135239180795 Ignition parts fail eventually and I would rather replace old, working units in my garage before they become old and non-working miles from...

16” Tires Available Now

Because this is an ongoing issue, I wanted to snap the chalk line—16” Shinkos appear available again, right now, and as in the past most likely for a limited time, so now is our chance. Search for Shinko SR880 and SR881. Following is a US link, and my quick www search revealed several more sources: ...

Paso 750 Bar Risers Needed

Please PM me if you have bar risers for sale or know someone who does. My ‘88 750 Paso has been comfortable for 35 years but I now find that sitting slightly more upright is needed to keep me riding into the future. Thanks!

Re: Restarting the original

I went down the same path as you over 30 years ago with hard starting, rough idling and seemingly running on one cylinder. I went down the ignition rabbit hole but in the end installed the Malossi carb kit which included two 36mm Dell Orto carbs and presto! It ran perfectly and has done so ever sinc...

Corbin Paso seat - Brand new - SOLD

Brand new, never used seat that I purchased for my '88 Paso. Includes Corbin seat pan. Corbin no longer offers a Paso seat per their website. The 900SS Gunfighter currently lists for $561 USD, not including tax or shipping. $200 plus shipping seems a very fair price. Send me your email and I will se...

Re: Refinishing wheels

I had the painted areas powder coated and exposed metal parts professionally polished. They are works of mechanical art and deserve it. I have yet to see a more intricate wheel casting that is as beautiful. I clean the brake dust off with spray wax and a clean cotton cloth. Mothers metal polish ever...

Re: GoPro Hero 7 Minute

Yep, 1/2 speed is about my pace. Heres another video from a ride yesterday. I’m slowly resolving the wind noise issue. As you all know, the Paso handles perfectly on tight, challenging roads.

GoPro Hero 7 Minute

Pasoists, I broke down and purchased GoPro’s latest camera, the Hero 7 Black. I wanted to record some of my rides, and it occurred to me that there are very few decent 750 Paso riding videos. The Hero 7’s electronic wind noise reducer is largely ineffective reducing motorcycle wind noise, as you can...

Re: Turning Brake Rotors

I sanded them lightly, which worked well. But, you cant go wrong with new pads.

Re: As long as we're talking carbuerators...

Does your Paso sit for a few months at a time or more? The ethanol-rich Cali gas may be clogging or affecting your carbs. Mine become degraded with as little as 4 months of non use. Probably not the problem, as your symptom seems to indicate an air leak, however since your carbs are readily accessib...

Re: As long as we're talking carbuerators...

One minor additional item to consider, and I am very sure you are sharp enough to have already considered this, but to be sure: check the vacuum nipples that should be on each Malossi intake (mine has them) to ensure they are tight and leak-free. Mine have loosened in bygone years.
