Re: 750 Timing Belts

A friend of mine used to work at Ducati of Dallas and she said they had them.

16" Wheels

I found this guy with a set of wheels, I was really wanting the tires but I think they're too old and hard. He was gonna sell them to me for around $200 (I'm in Texas). If you're interested here's his website: http://www.thestellarcore.com/velocitymotorcycles/index.php?option=com_content&view=ar...

Re: 16 inch Shinko Tyres for Paso

SO glad I found this thread! I was just about to drop $200 on a set of wheels with tires. I was so afraid the tires would be hard as a rock, even though they had lots of tread on them. The front on my Paso now was always dry rotted but if finally cracked all the way through and is trash

plug looks a tiny bit wet, but no more than usual. The front plug looks like that most of the time. I was going to check the tightness on all the xhaust clamps to make sure they weren't leaking and I stripped out on of the nuts. Off to the store to try and find a replacement before I can start her u...

Nothing was touched except the side panel and the exhaust pipes. I'm going to do a double check to make sure a wire didn't get knocked loose. The petcock looks fine and no fuel lines are close enough to where I was working that could have gotten caught in anything. One upside to the xhaust leak...fo...

Power loss

I'm stumped. I've been riding my bike with a slight exhaust leak at the rear head for awhile. I finally get it fixed and when I tried to ride to the gas station, I didn't think I was going to make it back. The bike fires up and idles like normal but when under a load, it feels like she can't even ge...

exhaust gasket

Sorry if this is a repost.... I had to take my rear exhaust header off to get the swingarm on and while I tried to be very careful and pay close attention....I never saw a gasket between the pipe and head. Now that I have the bike back together and started her, the exhaust is leaking there. Did I mi...

Might need some persuading with the mechanics best friend, the 5 lb. hammer? hehehe, it finally came out. Just needed to be man-handled. (or should I say...girl handled :D ) The new one is in and I'm fixing to tighten everything back up and get the wheel on. I'll post some pics of the damage when I...

got the exhaust off....but the swingarm ain't budging where it's attatched to the frame. I took the swingarm spindle out but nothing I try is working. Anybody been thru this before?

Swingarm Swap

I'm in the middle of the swingarm swap and I'm cussing the #*$%^&!!! designer of this bike! The service manual says to simply remove the bolt at the bottom of the shock...the bolt holding the connecting rods on the swingarm....and it should simply fall out. HA! they fail to mention that the frea...

### Mine has the metal lock nuts. Are these a one time use only? Should I go to nylon lock nuts? (with a bit of threadloc)
