If you can't get the air out the normal way by pouring fluid in the top reservoir, try to use a seringe and inject the fluid from the bottom side, this worked with me. As Johnie said, most of the times an airbubble is trapped at the point were the clutch line is attached to the main cylinder. You ca...

He guys, I've measured all the clearances for several times with the following results: vertical cylinder: intake opener: 0.02 - 0.03 mm intake closer: 0.03 - 0.04 mm exhaust opener: 0.05 mm exhaust closer: 0.10 mm horizontal cylinder: intake opener: 0.08 mm intake closer: 0.07 mm exhaust opener: 0....

Thanks for all your reply's, To start the cup under the opener which I can't measure because of lack of thinner feeler gauges then 0.05 mm, still can be rotated fully. So I would say there is some clearance probably in the region of 0.01 to 0.02 mm. So I don't sink I have negative clearance. But can...

Ok, So this is a lot of advice on the closer, although I don't understand the comment about a half rotation of the cup (tamburinifan?). But I'm still wondering wether a 0 clearance on the opener is a problem? And do you really think I need to adjust the clearance on the closer on the exhaust side wh...

Hello Gert,

0,00 to 0,02 mm looks like a strange value. How are you going to measure this when the measuring tool (feeler gauge) only has a resolution of 0,05 mm. Aren't you mistaking wiht inch values?

Hello, Since my Paso has reached the 30.000 km I thought of checking the valve clearance. So I started with the standing cylinder. With the piston in top dead center I measure a clearance of 0.05 mm on the opener on the exhaust side and 0.1 mm on the closer, which is within spec. But on the intake s...

Hello Pasochist, No it's not my own Paso. This article was in Motor somewhere in the mids of 2007. If I'm not mistaking it's a US version seeing the back-end end head light. By the way were are you located in Holland? By the way my number plate is MY-21-SP but I think its an imported version. The fr...

He Paso friends, Since I've got a lot of information of this site I think its time to return something. I've translated a very nice article from the dutch magazine 'Motor' about the Paso into English. A English college of mine (thanks Ben) edited it for me so it should be readable. Here are the link...

Hallo Thomas, Ich denke nicht das hier viele leute Deutsch begreifen konnen so English wurde viel besser sein. Aber uber deine Frage. Ich habe auch ein '87 Paso (gebaut '86 hochstwarscheinlich, seriennr 750144) und da ist ein Ohlins Federbein drauf. Spatere ausfuhrungen haben ein Marzocchi Federbein...

Gerhard, Thanks for the photo's there very clear. I've already did some measurements on my own clutch and would have positioned the pin further out, so these pictures correct this idea. luckely no welding has been done yet. I'm planning to make a fill cylinder to fill up the worn out part this week....

He Sprintex, There are some drastic ways to lighten your clutch but I only read about them and never tried it. You could replace the master pump which is a ps13 (13 mm diameter) with a smaller version for instance the ps12 (12mm). Trick is however whether you then pump enough oil to disengage the cl...

Hey Gerhard, Hopefully no injuries accept to the bike. If you could take some pictures that would be great. When you still have the cover open could you also measure the distance between the front of the pin and the front of the control disk? In the meanwhile I visited a ducati store nearby but no p...

There are genuine Ducati Performance CDI boxes for sale. These are quite a bit cheaper about 150 euro each. You can still order them at Ducati. They replace the original Kokusan units. You can also try E-bay.

He guys, Thanks for all the info. I added a picture from my own work shop manual in which you can see a clear difference between my control plate with the pin and the plate from the parts manual with only a hole (picture in Jon's reply). http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i103/jcs182/Paso/index.jpg C...
