New 750 Paso owner

Post by Witzie »

Hi there,

A month ago I bought this 1990 Ducati 705 PASO
Image

It's my first Ducati, before this one I had a Kawasaki ZL1000 for almost 21 years. A Paso is something completely different, i have become totally addicted to it :D . Since then the only thing I did was to replace the chain and sprockets (108/15/40).

I hope to find some useful information on this forum (already did actually) and of course it is interesting to read the stories of other owners.

Hi Witzie,

Welkom op het forum! Lots of useful information here. Did your Paso already have the Avons when you bought it?

Cheers,

Mike

The previous had them fitted before I bought it, I think it rides very good with this setup. The rear tyre is a 150/80-16, it is bigger than the original size but this is partially compensated with a bigger rear sprocket that I have fitted. Because of this bigger size it leaves little room for chain tension adjustment though.

Startwin in NL has adapters which extend the swingarm and restore the ability to adjust the chain. The parts are not so expensive either (see last page of FAQs). They`ll probably require a longer chain.
