stock 750 vs water logged 900

Hello, this is a two part question. I have a 87 750 Paso with a broken output shaft. This Paso has been in the basement (drained) for about 15 years. Two choices I have are replace the 750 with another motor or rebuild the 750. I found a 99 900 with water damage that I can buy cheap. part 1: will the 900 fit in the Paso frame and how? part 2: if I use the 900, what do I need to do to it because of the water damage?

hi,

i am driving around with a 750 paso with a 900ss engine (94) for several years so it works just fine.

because of the problem with the chain and sprockets i also fitted the 900ss wheels (17') and brembo goldline brakes.

i'm also trying to get my bike on this site in the gallery but get no reply.

i'd really like to show to other pasoriders how you can do this

from those pics you can see what has to be done that it all fits in the right place.

fact is that you have to cut a little piece off the engine where it goes in the frame and make sure there's a straight line from the front to the rearsprocket.

with this modification i also fitted a pair of mikuni's 41 mm. and this winter a dynojet stage 2 kit with carbon performace cams.

this all together will give you a huge power upgrade and a topspeed of >240 km/h.

greets, ab.

Waterlogged? Huh? Let me guess, from Louisiana, or Mississippi? Run away! Nothing good can come from a motor sitting with a bunch of water inside it.

I speak from experience here, I've got a jet ski motor that has the crank bearings coming apart from a previous owner flooding it and then letting it sit, rather than taking care of the problem...
