There's a vendor selling a new ignition switch stating it is for the 750 Paso, 900s and 851. I know they were concurrent models, but were the ignition switches the same on the 900s and 851 as on the Paso? \+\ some photos |

nice photos. I had an ignition switch from an SS once and it did not fit on the Paso. G. |

I put a Paso switch in my Sport. It plugged into the wiring fine, and fit to the bolts on the top triple clamp, but the fork lock feature wasn't long enough to reach the tab on the frame to lock the forks. (no big deal for me). First year 851 used M1R forks, and had a top triple that almost matches the 750, but 3mm more offset, and the ignition switch hole is the same place as the Sport. The 900ss he may be referring to is the one from 1990 that had very limited distribution, and looks like my avatar. Same as the 750 Sport, but with a 900 motor, 17 inch wheels and bigger brakes.

the ignition switch may be an original one (taken from another Paso) as there are two ignition switches that differ in length. Yours may have come from a 907ie. G. |

Ducati changed around a lot of things on the Paso and Sport. They were short on money, and sometimes bikes got built with whatever components that the suppliers would ship them. The lock set you have may quite well be original, but maybe not to your bike. With the different ignition switches, is it possible that the bosses on the backside of the triple clamps were different heights? I'm wondering if changing your triple clamp might be a faster simpler change? Cheers, |

According to many vendors carbon clutch covers fit all Ducs with dry clutch. Noone could explain me though how to fit one on a Paso, 750S, F1 or early 750SS  Maybe he is right but generally one needs to be careful about what people say specially on ebay. G. PS: I don`t know why your post was moved but as you wished I moved it here again. |

By now, we all know how much our bikes can be different each other. My two 907s have different switches, both stock, and they have different keys  . I have had many troubles to reach the lock position on the switch of my black 907. On the red one I have to press the key, not on the black one. So, definitely, the switches for Marzocchi forks (Paso, 851, 907 etc.) are not the same. They have different length, different keys, etc. Ciao |

900SS is the correct way to refer to both models. What most of us call a 1990 900 Sport was actually called a 900 SS. Very confusing from the whole SS series that followed the year later, 1991, and ran till 1998. http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/ ... s%2090.htm The biggest differentiator is the year.
