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.

Re: Turning Brake Rotors

Gents, Received the rotors from Tom at Truedis, installed & tried out today. Pulsing gone and they work as new. Cost was $50 each plus actual shipping costs. He removed less than 1/10 mm of material by my measurement. I have before and after pictures but posting here is not intuitive. I am sure ...

Re: Turning Brake Rotors

That works. I will also post feedback.

My 900 Supersport is moderately pulsing. New Brembo rotors are readily available, but Truedisk should achieve a new result for around 1/4 price I’ve messaged Mike and expect to send the discs to him this week.

Re: Turning Brake Rotors

Todd - Great lead and worth a try! I would think most of us will need this service eventually. The only other tip I know of that offers some potential came from a 900ss forum, with tne supersport fan claiming success using a machine shop’s flywheel resurfacing tool. Price was comparable.

Re: Announcements

That they worked and it is running is great news, but good grief, clean up the wiring!
And, how did the left side panel upper nut hole get ripped open?! Possibly a large drill was used to install body work bolts?

Re: Just Dropping In (again)....

Good man for nursing your wife back to health. I too am living the time crunch. I say drain fuel or at least fuel stab and battery tenders for all but the Paso or ST2 and ride only one until more time frees up. I have a couple of great 50-or-so mile rides near my home with some ridiculously tight tu...
