[quote="Desmo Tutu"]Was out on my first trip with the bike yesterday. Drove for a couple of hours. My God this bike is small....
My -97 900SS is like a bus in comparison.
Since I'm only a couple of years from turning 50, my hips & knees are not as flexible as it use to be. So the hips start complaining after about 200 meters. After some km the cramp has burned out and I could enjoy the bike
The engine run very nice, and I had a wonderful trip on some twisty roads. The carbs are not 100%, but i will get them done. I suspect they are a bit on the rich side, and I scared some pedestrians when I had a couple of misfires in the exhaust pipe. From 2500-3000 rpms the engine responds very nice.
So the engine is perfect, and the natural question to follow up is.... If I should change to a 750 to set it back to original spec, what are the correct engine to search for?
Are the 750 sport and 750 paso engines the correct, or are there other Ducati models who use the same engine? specific production years, serial number range etc?
So far I know I should look for a black engine with 20mm fork spindle and forward facing exhaust on rear cylinder. Other things I must check?[/quote
hello, if you find two cylinders of a paso, or an elephant you can to bore your engine casing and everything returns as before.
you can do a 750 cc, also using a pair of crankcase alazzurra 350-650 - or pantah, but you will always have to enlarge the hole of the cylinder housing.
If you use paso 750, or 750 series sport before, everything is easier.
The distance of the fastner that hold the head, is always equal.
I hope my friend simultaneous translator has worked well. Carlo.
