Camshaft Interchange.....
Will the cams on the later "reverse head" engines interchange with the older pantah motors ? Thinking about giving my Ally a little boost.....

I bought one of the four hole starters from eBay. It fits the latter Ducatis, I think mine came from a 1098. It worked great in my Paso, which is the same basic engine as yours. It has a bit more torque than the stock starter and spins really fast..... sounds like a Chrysler starter. Price was in th...

Thanks for the tip on the megacycle cams. I plan on getting stainless or titanium valves for the bike. Am going a few mm bigger on the intake, polishing the combustion chambers, polishing the exhaust ports, and cleaning up the intake ports while mating them to the intake manifolds. If I need to bore...

Thanks everyone for their replies and suggestions. I discovered that my bike is actually a 900 GTS and not a GT as I thought at first. Already have the nicer body work and seat with dual disc brakes. In the next few weeks my mechanic and I will be tearing into the motor. Wish me luck and expect me t...

OK guys, I figured that the Ducs had head gaskets like the other bikes I have worked on. I was wrong. Bevel drive engines are new to me and I am still learning. I have a couple of manuals, they came with the bike, but my mechanic has them. We are getting ready to start as soon as the weather breaks....

Thin head gaskets and hi-po cams......
Hi guys. I am finally getting started on my 900 GTS. I need to know a couple of things. Does anyone sell thin head gaskets or hi-po cams for the spring motor (Steve ?). If I install the thinner gaskets do I need to also buy shims for the bevel drive unit. Thanks for any help you can give me......Dew...

Paint codes for 1978 GTS........
Here I am again with more questions. I have decided to go with the blue and silver on the GTS I just bought. Does anyone know the BASF paint codes which will match up this paint. Or any other paint codes from different paint. I also want to paint the frame the same silver that is on the tank :lol: ....

My Paso had 16'' wheels. It cornered great, you just had to get used to it. If you applied the brakes in the middle of a curve it would stand straight up. In an S curve you could go hauling @$$ into the first curve, hit the brakes and it would stand straight up, then slam it into the next curve. It ...

Martin, I don't know if the GTS and SD frames are the same or not. I am new to this bevel drive stuff and need to read a few books, which Steve has recommended. I have some literature which is to be mailed to me next week which came with the bike. Rex forgot to bring it when he brought the bike toda...
