Post by bavarian »

Is the stock rear shock on a '88 750 Paso rebuildable? Mine is starting to seep oil.

If U have Öhlins, ITS that, but i dont know that older Marzhocci in 750. Btw, that Öhlins is much better shock :thumbup:

That 907 later model rear Marzhocci is, cause mine was rebuild by Öhlins maintainer. Also i find rebuild kit from Ducati, but i am not sure, is it anymore available.

My Paso has the stock Marzocchi shock. I'd like to get a used Ohlins for it. What part/model number Ohlins will fit a 750 Paso? I'm also going to call the dealer Monday and find out if there is a rebuild kit for the Marzocchi.

Thanks for the link ved, but that shock and rebuild kit won't work on a 750's shock. The rebuild kit won't fit the shock and the shock is too large for the limited space on the 750 Paso from what I have read.

I have the same seeping issue with my 88 Paso shock. Works Performance produces a shock for the Paso. The remote reservoir installs with hose clamps, so it's not the cleanest install. My shock continues to work pretty well despite a drip here/there, so I haven't installed the WP unit yet. I plan to weld up an aluminum clamp of some sort, that will make the shock worthy of being installed on my Paso. Hose clamps!

The Works Performance shock is only $350 as well. If you do get one let me know how it feels. I've also had a few crazy thoughts of just getting an Ohlins, but have been so far unable to find any info as to which model would fit the Paso.
